Everyone wore navy blue caps & gowns at my high school graduation. This was 20+ years ago, and to the best of my knowledge, that was how it had been done since the school started in the 70s. I dont believe, given the era that being sensitive to transgender issues was a consideration in making everyone the same. If I had to hazard a guess based on my knowledge of the administration and senior class faculty sponsors, it was because it was less expensive per gown to order the same for everyone.

I think it's a nice thing for everyone to look the same and get the cap & gown experience. Not everyone goes on to college. I always like when they move the tassel from one side to the other.
