You ever consider most of those execs buy into the world view of the projects they greenlight? They're in a bubble believing all 'right-thinking' people must agree with it? Some might even believe they're virtuously pushing the 'correct' viewpoints? They're patting themselves on the back for spreading the gospel? They don't realize that preaching in a one way communication forum comes off as a lecture? Perhaps they're not familiar with sci-fi author Roger Zelazny's quote:
“I have no objection to the expression of political opinions in SF if they are an integral part of the story structure. I don't at all appreciate their intrusion for the purpose of converting a story into a political tract, because I consider that intellectually insulting.”

Most folks don't like to be lectured.
