There are books where Dr. Bashir is a spy behind enemy lines on a Breen planet. I have to look up the name of this series. There it‘s eplained that they are multiple races hidden behind mask for some reason.

IIRC, the reason was absolute equality by way of absolute anonymity. You can’t tell what species or gender your fellows are, so it’s not possible to discriminate against them. If any race, for example, required a chilling apparatus, then all suits would have one, although only activated if required.
Or something like that.
