Or there is a veeeeeeeeeery rare possibility (in an alternate universe of course, not our universe ruled by almighty Sandy Peterson and the VFD QueenMegatron) that no one ever dares to think of: not everyone thinks this is a flaw.
Let me tell you something even more blasphemous: there are people who think Italians are not a good addition. There are also people who think Africans are not a good addition. There are people who think Swedes do not fit because they do not have a lot of colonies. There are even people who think TAD is out of the theme.
Not all of them are screaming over something in the game they do not like. Because nobody is forcing you to buy or play them and YOU ARE FREE TO LEAVE.
