Whilst you're correct that we shouldn't be worrying about body attributes at all, and I agree with your vision of the future, we still need a way to get from where we are now to where we want to be.

In the meantime the best we've got is to try and make sure we've got some evidence of diversity.

It has been happening already. It's as if we've been gradually smoking less and less, and then a movement comes along that tells us that in order to quit, we actually need to smoke more for the foreseeable future.

Citation needed. I think evidence suggests that we've been getting from where we have been to where we want to be precisely because of these kinds of efforts, and the pushback against these efforts has been there at every step of the way.
