They use the term "cast members". Doesn't that mean these folks are playing a part rather than playing themselves?
Is Cinderella going to suddenly have purple hair? I don't get changing the characters to be the actors.

Actually a very good point, Gris.
Many posters saying this doesn't impact the "experience" do so under the premise it's a park with rides and not the fantasy land it was intended to be.

I don't think this means the people actually playing the part of characters (not yet at least, check back in 10 years). Even the people working the rides and food stands are called cast members. I think this policy is referring to those workers. That being said, I get your point about even those workers are playing a role, hence the long-time grooming policies.

Pretty sure they call all their public facing employees cast members, but I could be wrong.

Absolutely. They are considered to be actors and can be regulated as such. This allows Disney to hold them to much stricter standards of uniform and appearance. It appears Disney is relaxing those standards, which will just start the inevitable decline as the cast members and woke bystanders push for more and more

Disney calls anyone who works for them in the parks "cast members". So, the woman playing Cinderella is a cast member, but so is the guy working in the gift shop on Main St. USA.
I suspect they're not talking about letting the woman playing Cinderella sport a green mohawk and face tattoos, but the guy serving you lunch might.
