Well, politics literally can't "stay out of games" simply because everything is political in some form or fashion. Anything that is trying to send a message about something can always be seen as that. I don't know how much about the 'historical accuracy' that goes into the time period for this game but I think part of it is because while everyone should be pushing for more diversity and inclusion some might worry that historical accuracy is actually instead just being used as an excuse to purposely exclude others, which is an assumption in the end.
It had happened as well with Call of Duty:WW2 where someone asked whether there would be swastika's would be in the multiplayer and the dev sort of insinuated that the person must have bad intentions for asking that. Don't get me wrong, the question is a little iffy and if that person was asking that because they supported bad stuff or some shit then absolutely call them out, and I personally wouldn't care if they completely removed it, but considering that they had promoted the game constantly about how historically accurate it would all be i'm not sure that should have been the immediate response, at least not unless more information was known about their intentions for asking. But they did also say multiplayer was seen as the more non-trying to be accurate mode.
Edit: I've edited this comment to more accurately portray what I had intended to say at the time, as the original was poorly worded.
