I think the flags serve a purpose almost like some form of heraldry when interacting in-group, as a shorthand way to share identity.
But as an outsider, I'm not going to keep track of every variant. I'd prefer there be one generic flag used when presenting to a general audience that is meant to encompass the entirety. And sticking with it. Maybe there already is one that is preferred?
I came to interpret it as more of a general flag for minorities.
Iirc it started to get more traction during the height of the BLM movement around 2020. It's supposed to include BIPoC into the pride movement.

A rainbow has every color. That’s the whole point, it’s very simple.
