In some cultures, perhaps. But I assure you, my n=1 experience is with plenty of companies that switched from a typical jacket-and-tie dress code to business causual, and ended up with a “huge amount of variety:”
All of the men wore golf/polo shirts, khakis, and tasseled loafers, but some wore oxblood loafers while others wore black or even brown loafers. And some wore plain leather belts, others wore woven leather belts.

Some cultures value conformance, and even if the rule is “wear whatever you like, as long as it’s not jeans or tee shirts,” they’ll self-organize around an unwritten rule of what to wear.

I'm afraid that's more of a reflection of people's taste in clothing where you live than anything else.

We'll have to disagree on this. What you call a bunch of people having the same taste in clothing, I call social signalling.

For n=1 that might be true.

How do you figure that? If there is no dress code, people can wear everything in the set you’re describing, plus the no dress code set.
No, casual dresscode allows for a much wider variety of clothing and goes in the opposite direction than "signal belonging to the tribe".
