Why does it matter what your gender, transgender, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, disability status is in programming surveys like on SO? (insights.stackoverflow.com)

In my opinion programming surveys should focus on development area and leave demographics, personal questions to someone else.

I see no other reason for asking these questions than following the money.

I don't even know what corporations your mean with that, or what kind of promotion. But companies adjusting to the local circumstances in order to maximize profit? I fail to see this being more hypocritical than e.g. any of us being on holiday in a foreign country which laws we don't appreciate but comply with anyway.
