Western RPGs as a distinct genre is/was honestly just the transitional step from more traditional CRPGs' desire of emulating tabletop RPGs to the modern AAA kitchen sink supergenre. Why is Cyberpunk 2077 a wRPG but Assassin's Creed an Action/Adventure again? Given everything else going on in the AAA space, xenophobic undertones in comparing J vs. W RPGs sounds about right.
