Immigrating to other countries can be much more difficult. Lots of countries will put you under a lot more scrutiny if you have any kind of official diagnosis, because it makes you seem less desirable when compared to another equally qualified applicant who isn’t diagnosed.
Yup, it’s variable pricing. They want to be able to discriminate based on how rich they think you are, or whether or not they actually want your business.

Like they’ll say yes, then do some weird nonsensical legal argument for why it should be allowed.
