Not trying to turn this into a political discussion but I think the reason for this is because developers are now so fearful of being offensive to any group of people . When you're dealing with animated caricatures in videogames with exaggerated features, you always run the risk of leaning into stereotypes. In 2022 this just is no longer accepted, harmless as the intention might be. I think that's why newer characters seem so generic and uninteresting.
