For Star Trek, specifically, there were a lot more open ended outcomes.
There was an episode where Data created another android as a sort of child and starfleet wanted to move her away from him because she was the only other functional android they had so they both wanted to research the technogy and ensure they wouldn't lose both at once.
The debate was between the rights of the parents and the greater good of the society but it was ultimately cut short when she died (and the "bad guy" did everything possible to help Data save her) so nobody "won", in the end.
Whether the underlying precepts were "woke" was less important because they were able to entertain multiple arguments as potentially correct and often left the viewer to make up their own mind.
Whereas modern media is pushing one specific message and absolutely cannot even present the criticism honestly because said idea is fundamentally retarded.

This was the hallmark of OG Star Trek. The writers had an almost pathological aversion to definitive answers.
