Because conditional testing is an anti-pattern in general and you should avoid it if possible

Hmm interesting. I suggest changing the text to

Easy conditional if-else logic for your Cypress tests, for when you can't avoid conditional testing

And I also suggest adding some information about it in the readme. For example, information on why it is an anti-pattern and why, despite that, this repository exists (I assume it is for a few situations in which the "anti-pattern" is actually acceptable)
