Self censorship is a thing. Fear of backlash leads to this outcome.
Creating non specific enemies like Top Gun Maverick or fictional enemies like Aliens, human invaders from another realm is another angle. Last you have some art where they make the bad guy just so bad emotionally/character wise and then bland their appearance/physical characteristics to make them inoffensive but often forgettable.
