It's not really because in the story, morlocks run the machinery of society. It was all about the british victorian era where the working class had increasingly horrible industrial working conditions where the elites were increasingly pampered.
Our current reality is worse than most fiction. There's no popular sci-fi novel where several species of hominid are extant with radically different behavior and the government forces everyone to pretend that they're all the same.
Saruman still isn’t pretending the Uruk Hai are the same as Men, though, or even the same as Orcs. He’s explicitly making them to be superior for his purposes. I can’t think of anything with that particular element.
Morlocks and Eloi is the perfect analogy. Well done, OP.
