Notes -
I think it's less a fundamental property of the franchise or universe, and more a matter of do the people that control this thing care about being consistent to the established rules/characters or not. Disney is pretty famous for sanitizing everything pretty hard going back to Walt (Mainstreet USA vs any real town) or most of the classic animations vs the source material. What's changed over the life of the company is the culture they sanitize for went from being a pretty universal American one to a subculture within the wider American culture.
GW still has enough people who value keeping their universe more consistent to the original design that it resists wokification efforts. I think if Disney had bought GW, they'd be wokifying to the chagrin of GW diehards who would occupy the position Ike Perlmutter had at Disney/Marvel (rich but sad and unable to prevent the destruction of his beloved business).
