<upd_detl>I think "uniformity" and "equality" carry so many different meanings that they make this term difficult to understand.

It seems 均等 always refers to the even apportionment or distribution of _something_ (which could be abstract or physical) rather than describing general "sameness"</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Not just apportionment/distribution.
I don't think we can say that 均等 itself means "equal apportionment; equal division; equal treatment".
I think the meaning is more clearly conveyed with adjective glosses.</upd_detl>
