If you're agreeing not to sue, then the company can use any criteria they like to hire or not hire you and there are zero consequences.

Imagine you check the box, you don't get the job, and your feedback turns out to be "You're a man and we don't like to hire men." You have no recourse because you agreed not to sue.

You can argue that that's obviously illegal hiring criteria and you should be able to sue anyway, but then you're back to square one.
