The demographics have changed and that has A LOT to do with it. Not only inside of American, movies must now sell in places like China and India and to a lesser extent in Africa and satisfy very different kinds of audiences and worldviews very different from yours. It's business. Success at the global box office is just about a necessity these days for movies with gargantuan budgets. Sure there might be a DEI push and it might seem heavy-handed and forced at times but imo it is kind of necessary because Hollywood has been very slow to adapt. You might think you hate it but there are millions of people with equally valid opinion who actually think it is not enough. Somewhere between 'DEI' and the backlash (whether well meaning or not) there's hopefully a happy medium that satisfies most people, not just a minority.
