Quality is judged by the consumer. Garbage doesn't sell and publishers want to make money, so they publish what people want to buy.
These people think that there are committees of "white, male overlords" who get together and conspire to ruin shitty media like the new Star Wars films. Those things fail because they are shitty and consumers reject them.
They just can't imagine people not doing things the way they do things. They do sit in meetings and determine what bullshit optics have to be in a story and then force a story around that bullshit. And it's terrible. We've been complaining about that shit for 20 years.
The fact that companies do only produce what they know will sell is their whole problem.
