Stories are written for people, and people don’t like their main heroes winning over similar humans who have the same concerns and life depth. It just doesn’t make a good saga or a good background for the key idea, unless it’s related. Dark parodies often literally add humanness to an enemy, both in shows and games (scenes like a trooper talking to his mom about a dinner and then gets stealth killed because hero is too lazy to loop around his post). The idea of showing both (all) sides only makes sense when a plot revolves around that exact idea, and doesn’t otherwise. You have to contrast an idea enough for it to stay primary, and adding a real-world drama does the opposite, because, well, your auditory is not a soulless bunch.
