Not the differences you imagine like NJ vs California vs Texas, much more

Dude, Texans fucking hate Californians and and East Coasters.

They share the same citizenship and language but they almost certainly hate each other more than a typical European country hates it's neighbors because of core value differences.

UK+EU members might hate each other for historical reasons but generally they all hold similar core values. Good ones BTW. Democracy is good.

I live in the midwestern US and if I could I'd have it's culture swallowed up by the east coast's culture (except maybe the food) because its pretty fucking boring and backwards in many respects anyway. The only reason I still live here is because I'm poor but I kind of hate midwestern culture.

Diversity is scientifically and provably good for creativity that in turn is good for everything humans do

Diversity is good, smoking is bad. So are Texas's anti-abortion and anti-trans bills, which is fueled by Texas's reactionary culture which diverges from Cali and NJ. Including unhealthy or even straight up death cult ideas as a form of "diversity" seems... ill advised.

My point is, sometimes things are just bad and serve no beneficial purpose and can't be justified on the basis of "diversity". Smoking culture is one.
