I suppose that is true. As I said, it doesn't matter. I look at two Amazon productions, "Rings of Power" and "Fallout" . The first has an intensely unlikeable protagonist and seemingly revels in bad writing and nonsensical situations and dialogue, while the second is a fantastic, smart, well-acted, and excellently written tale that is true to the lore and spirit of it's namesake. I've had people who will equally be supportive of me not liking "Rings of Power" because of its "wokeness" and incredulous that I like "Fallout" in spite of its "wokeness". I can't help but be equal parts amused and sad for them. I hope such people can find happiness one day, because they sound anything but happy now.
