Because it's a fictional setting and there is no history to be accurate to

Because they just want to use it as an excuse to be racist. Even games with a historical setting like Kingdom Come: Deliverance just use "historical accuracy" to erase queer people and people of color from the history of medieval Europe. And how accurate is it really to have a main character that is socially mobile and rises through the ranks of nobility?

Then you have stuff like Pentiment that has works cited and is dope as fuck.
