These are the same companies that will claim to desire diversity, but actively work to remove any personality in the workplace.

LOL... WC, they mean diversity of skin color, not diversity of beliefs, personality, etc.
They want the kind of diversity that doesn't require any thinking to consider. You look at the photo, you see a white woman, an Asian man, a Black transgender person, and a Native American non-binary... <whatever I'm supposed to define them as>.
That's the diversity they want.
But what they really want, is for the public to leave them the fuck alone. The above is just how they get it.

Exactly. It is a new form of informal control. Post-Occupy corporate culture had to adapt. Naturally the first adaptation is superficial signalling.

If the company has to advertise it during the interview, there is a higher chance than not it is bullshit. The #1 rule of marketing is advertise your weakness.
