Mundfish actually faces two problems:
A large part of its development studio is located in Russia, they also plan to sell their game in Russia, so they can't afford to anger Russian authorities (and also some of its Russian staff and some of its Russian audience) by posting anything in support of Ukraine.
The whole glorification/exploration is the other problem. It's easy to vilify Nazism in a setting where Nazism delivered everything it had promised, because the vast supermajority agrees it promised vile things. A game about fully automated luxury space communism has to work harder. Or imagine a game where the Caliphate managed to convert the whole world. You'll get claims that the game is both Islamophobic and a glorification of Islamism.
