Also, the people making the decisions were probably one of a) full-on ideologues that believe in the "black girl magic" cringe (they'd be saying "burgers?"), or b) corporate toadies who don't care as long as they get paid.
There's also a c) category for people who saw the turd for what it was but were too cowardly to say anything, but I'd assume most of those people left for other jobs or were fired long ago.
I think C was more like they were paid for their work, knew it was a turd, but also knew pointing it out was pointless. Disney works in very incestuous industries
