"Uniformization" sounds like a better fit, if we are searching for a more conventional word.

Maybe. I just don't want to use a well-established word to tag a new phenomenon because people can start judging the situation by the wider meaning of the word "Uniformization" or maybe different people will understand something different.

Instead, I coin a word and proceed to explain it. I find that using words with precise technical definitions or words that are jargons is dangerous in an informal context.

Or “Homogenization”

I think this is the more established term.

Sounds analogous to Stross' concept of a "beige dictatorship" in politics.

Is it related to “regression to the mean?”
