 They really have gone off the deep end with rewriting history to be
diverse and inclusive.

To me it depends what the game is trying to achieve, so yes if a game is geared towards historical accuracy then the details do matter so as not to break the immersion. If it's just themed around a historical event then there's a lot more flexibility in what you can do.
Then of course you have the problem of people seeing problems that just don't exist. I remember some people complaining about some WWI game having non-white soldiers in it. Well yeh as there were non-white soldiers in active combat in WWI. The flip side, people complaining about lack of diversity when it's historically accurate.
