The difference is that lawyers act in a structured environment with specific rules on how things should be considered - you bring up all the possible claims because if any of them get thrown out, it doesn't impact the others.
It's not the same with general discourse - when you raise a bunch of issues that aren't especially relevant and seem designed to be inflammatory, you damage the credibility of your other arguments. Arguing that test proctoring software is transphobic is such a stretch that it makes you question whether they author has such strong biases against the software that their evaluation of it is just generally too biased to be trustworthy.

It seems like the software is matching people against existing images, based on the issue with the black student, and trans people are I would assume more likely to change their appearance, including as a result of taking hormones and having facial feminization/masculinization surgeries.
