A slightly late response, but this. 100%. The Sims team and EA really don't give a shit unless they look bad, and this tweet gained a decent amount of traction.
Anyone remember when a EA game changer Dylansimz was outed for grooming children and it caused a scandal? Then when SimGuruLyndsay released a statement claiming they'd be dropped from the program, we learned she knew Dylan was doing this for at least 4 MONTHS and did nothing until it blew up.

They don't give a shit about literally anything unless their image is on the line, this is just another instance of damage control.
On behalf of my gender and the same community I agree. A lot of us really don't care about the demand for wokeness in the Sims like pronouns, more trans sims, disabilities and all that jazz. We don't really cling to Simtubers either. We just want the game to be playable and for content that should've been in the base game to eventually make its way into the game (bunk beds for example).
As
@pedoguyguykrai said, if we want something. we mod the game, the mod market (market? community?) for the game is constantly expanding and doing things EA should have done years ago. Once again, it's just another instance of how the loudest voices are the ones people often hear and listen to, and how that's not always good.
