I can't speak to using "Latinx" or land acknowledgements, but myself and other non-cishet people I know appreciate the normalization of adding pronouns to names/bios by all kinds of people because it helps us feel a lot less othered. I hate being the only one in a Zoom call with my pronouns in my name.
That being said, I know cishet people more often than not do it to signal, but intentions aside, I think it's helpful and I only hope it becomes more common. I'd say about a quarter of my organization does it on Zoom, with almost all of us doing it on Mattermost. It's nice.
I understand the utility of communicating what pronouns to use, but what I don't understand is why people list multiple forms instead of just one. If you say "they", the "them" and "their" are implied already etc.
I once read it's about bandwidth. Presumably, search engines require lots of BW to serve, and some sites don't want this cost. They make an exception for Google because they want to be on Google.
That bad, huh :( But I hear you. I'm working on making this better right now, I'd be happy to hear any complaints you have, and I hope we can get you back.

works great if you have tight coupling, but what if the guys in charge of the login page is on a different team than the marketing guys? What if the marketing guys want the ability to arbitrarily change ads without involving the login page team? I don't dispute that it could be made better, but it's very easy to build it badly, and there isn't much evidence that it's intentionally built badly.
