What personally irks me is every time a company sets out to be inclusive and accommodating is that somehow there's still work to be done. Goalposts seem to be shifting all the time. What more can someone do.
Are there really an endless amount of disabilities, genders, identities, races and preferences that a studio can realistically be expected to incorporate into their game. All the while ensuring that perspectives and opinions come from the lived experiences of people who identify as trans or have a disability or are a person of colour.
Where does the line get drawn that you have to figure "this is a good thing, some representation is better than nothing" rather than this screeching rhetoric that nothing is ever good or accommodating enough.
It comes as no shock to me that many users of that site are miserable, they have constant impossible standards that can never be met. Rather than identifying that the issue lies with the individual, it is instead the fault of a company who are constrained by both time and budget who would never realistically or reliably meet said standards.
At some point, they have to realise that the unfortunate reality is conforming to every possible demand is simply impossible and maybe we should view any attempt at being more inclusive as a "win".
And, as you rightly say. At some point its better to just crack on and silently go about doing your thing rather than to try and please a minority of under-stimulated, over opinionated arseholes.
