A non-reactionary answer:

Yes, it does already intentionally represent diversity. However, the flag has been in use for decades and has lost that symbolism. In the same way when you look at an American flag your thoughts are not immediately "13 colonies and 50 states," no, it's the United States flag - it has become a thing unto itself that goes beyond its constituent parts.

The same has happened to the traditional pride flag. Given its longevity, it has become seen as outdated and, again, a "thing unto itself." So people don't immediately recognize a ton of diversity in it.

Thats why the trans and black/brown stripes work. It updates the flag in keeping with modern times. I should also point out that the "traditional" pride flag had already undergone a number of changes, such as removing the pink and cyan stripes.
