I think just speaks to the age we live in now; everything has to be relentlessly analyzed. When Wolfenstein came out in the early 90s, nobody cared that the villains were Nazis. When a reboot came out some years ago, suddenly there's a need for 'discourse' about historical accuracy, and whether the Nazis deserve to be killed in a fictional game, and why there side of the story isn't emphasized.
Wait, there was really a "won't somebody think about the Nazis" movement? I'm curious to read more if you have a link, especially if this was more than a fringe group.
