Its also why the Western genre was forcefully killed off and basically nothing is ever made in the genre, except for "subversions" and "deconstructions" about it ending and talking about how evil the white outlaws were.
Because the Wild West, for whatever true reality it was, was filled to the brim with examples that showed that Indians, and Mexicans, were brutal subhuman savages worse than any White man could ever hope to be. The moment they had the upperhand or could fight back, they would massacre and destroy everything they saw.
The fact that scalping as a concept exists, and is something they regularly did to people alive, disproves any "peaceful" notion of them.
Well that, and the genre was done to absolute death for decades. That's not to say that the various resurgences weren't pretty damn cool, like spaghetti westerns and some of the more modern ones from the 80's-90's.
But there's only so much variety and creativity you can ultimately carve out of such a genre. And many modern attempts have been remarkably retarded with their leftist-influenced takes.
Conversely, I wish there was a greater volume of quality films that take place closer to the colonial era, and the early U.S. I've seen at least a few over the years, but it's still remarkably sparse. Especially anytime past the 40's-60's.
There was an expectation of heroism, family values, and pro americana in the genre, and pedowood wanted to make movies and shows about suburbanites and degeneracy instead.
Those resurgences were as you say, attempts to alter the formula towards leftism once it had been long enough for the positive expectations to have waned.
Eh, I dunno. Might just be me. I found a lot of them extremely repetitive. More-so before the 70's. Jeremiah Johnson is one I rather liked though. And Wyatt Earp, starring Kevin Costner.
Sometimes people like a little bit of extra spice to their entertainment every now and then. Leftists push the envelope to the extreme though.

And yet, people never actually tired of watching them, pedowood got tired of making them: https://infogalactic.com/info/Rural_purge
