It's for research purposes. It's also to see how many "genders" take the survey or fill out the form. It's to help advertisers, marketing firms, researchers, and other fun third parties to gather information about who uses the product or service.
It helps the company determine the "demographic" of the individual, and to see if it is reaching the right target audience.
Oh, and, the reason why there are 596857968 genders is so that the person making the survey or form doesn't offend anyone or anything. They don't want to get the company in trouble.
Mine wasn't on a survey, I had to take a mandatory test on sexual assault and violence. You can tell a bleeding heart liberal made the program. So stupid, these people are actually teaching people "not to rape".

Yay.
Mate, most of these arguments from the half-baked theories of a philosopher. Most ACTUAL scientists (you know, the people who are actually relevant on these matters) state that these "research purposes" are nothing more than glorified bullshit. Pseudoscience, if you will.
