Arwens romance is pretty integral to Aragorns character but in the books this is all relegated to an appendices, so the decision was made to replace a minor character (plot wise) with Arwen to flesh out hers and Aragorns relationship.
That's not woke it's just sensible story telling.
Jackson even cut scenes he was going to have her in because he realised it was too much and made no sense.
She was inserted because she was a woman. Could have been Elrond himself and it would even make more sense than books but no.
