I recently came across the term "hopepunk" which I think fits with your point. There is a line where hopeful, positive stories provide a lot of value before crossing into pandering/boring territory. I wish more modern stories built that up.

I'm new to this term, and as a big fan of cyberpunk, I'm glad to see a non-dystopian take on it.
