Because saying this stuff is akin to vowing your allegiance to the party in authoritarian regimes. Or repeating the cult dogma in a cult. This isn’t about rationality or what is ridiculous. It is about proving that you are part of a group. And to prove that people have done insane things for thousands of years. Much worse than calling a mother a birthing parent tbh, but it shows you what direction we are headed. And interestingly this seems to apply to corporations too. They too (probably because of management), want to demonstrate they are part of a group/cult.
