I'm simplifying for arguments sake, but it's about money and power. By achieving this status, they get more government benefits, and by imposing the standard on society, they achieve disproportionate stature in terms of power.
Most find these terms unfavorable. In political terms, they are the only true commodities of the marketplace. If you don't have power and/or money, you're broke and meaningless. So the power groups have determined this is their road to greater power, money and control. Surely, we are old and mature here to not find any political movement to be about anything else.
