Hiring someone based off of something they have no control over insults their actual ability and skill.

Like that doesn't happen, consciously and subconsciously, most of the time.

In order for companies to hire people based on "ability and skill", you have to normalize a diverse board; expectations are informed by reality. So this is a step in the right direction.

Also don't pretend they hire literally anyone just because they are black. It is not a problem for a company to want to diversify their management. Acting as if that's not necessary because "well we don't see color here, anyone can get in by merit!" is impressively ignorant.
