Why does badminton even need to be separated it’s not a strength contest
Because some people view Men's sports as professional, and a career opportunity. Women's sports on the other hand are seen by those people as recreational, and something fun to do outside of the house.
Who would put a professional player against a recreational player? That's just not fair, the recreational player would be embarrassed at how bad they are and it wouldn't be fun to watch.
Obviously nothing I said is true but it's an opinion held by many.
Trans women also got banned in chess. https://www.npr.org/2023/08/18/1194593562/chess-transgender-fide-pushback
So men don't have to be embarrassed from being beaten by a woman.
Never seen Serena Williams play badminton?

Reaction time, endurance, strength(yes hitting a shuttlecock harder is important), etc. They vary wildly between men and women and no sport can really balance the scales in either direction.
Men have better motor reflexes. Speed and strength is also a factor.
