Cognitively speaking, diversity is key to how well we process information. We build mental schemas based on stimuli. The more information we have about something, the more robust our schemas are. From recognizing shapes to understanding other cultures, the strength is in the diversity.

This is exactly what we ended up doing on Direct File to protect taxpayer privacy while remaining focused on accessibility.
Like any UX solution, you also have options with accessibility, each with their own tradeoffs.

Went to 3 different theater websites to find times for Badlands. The UX was awful for them all. The gauntlet of clicks just to find a time. On one site, the location feature was broken, so I couldn't even find the theater near me.
