Ye many take it as "see look facism is important, without it the imperium would fall"I actually do find it darkly amusing that it began as a parody of fascism but has been unironically embraced by many fascists, with gusto.
Ignoring fact that really the imperium fell years ago, humanity is locked out of any chances to escape due to being locked into its facist views. Its xenophobia stops it from seeking any allies in tau or eldar (who also have their own issues) in 40k facism took humanity to the point where it is and locks it there. But many view it as a ringing endorsement that facism is the answer to tough situations. They also dont see the irony of portraying trump as a genocidal asshole whose inability to show basic care towards the primarchs lead humanity to its collapse.
But ye in recent years GW has struggled to actually portray that tone of the setting, people want the power fantasy of space marines ignoring that they are emotionally stunted child soldiers serving an empire that doesnt care, only place it sort of still exists is in necromunda as that area of 40k is a more focused take on society.
