It is praise in manufacturing and a complaint about everything else, since uniformity of product is quality and uniformity of opinion is not. The Acts of Uniformity in English history forced a single form of worship.

Built from
From Late Middle English uniformite, uniformitie (“conformity or equality among several parts; similar degree”), borrowed from Old French uniformité (“uniformity”) (modern French uniformité), or from its Latin ūniformitās, from Latin ūnifōrmis (“having only one form or shape, uniform”) + -itās (a variant of -tās). Ūnifōrmis is derived from ūni- (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European h₁óynos (“one”)) + -fōrmis (from fōrma (“appearance, form, shape”); further etymology unknown). by surface analysis, uniform + -ity.
