There is a TNG novel that features the Breen. I believe the suits are wired into their nervous systems and while they have diversity among them, I think 4 or 5 species in their confederation, they stay in suit as a way to unify without embracing diversity.
They’re sort of like anti IDIC, so their suits that they are dependent on keep them homogenous enough to get along.

Well spotted!
For one, I am ready to support developers. But this model of software development isn’t going to work out. Doesn’t matter to me if they figure out how to get paid, but this is 100% the foundation of an enshittification model. And being that it’s software based around organizing communities… one thing people need to learn is that people move, communities do not. It’s not worth the risk.
