That is part of what I’m saying, though: I think it’s useful to interrogate why the story is the thing it is, and to consider if it could be something else. You learn things about the story that way. It helps it find its true form, so to speak.

I think I’d summarise it as: where the mainstream lacks diversity, then pragmatism to succeed *easily* as mainstream is going to count as erasure. There are diverse exceptions in the mainstream, but they get there because people fight to put them there.

And I’m suggesting (or trying to) that we fight to put those diverse books where they will sell best, which might be as adult books. That’s all. Not sure I understand what you’re saying here.
