Because science fiction is literally just a way to talk to people about how they should treat other people. Not actually science much.

So my complaint here: Science fiction is not about the future. It's about the present. Right?

The future is a foreign country that we use as a lens or distancing effect to interpret the present.

Most science fiction tries to be futuristic about a small subset of cliched topics and completely forgets about the rest. Oooh holograms!
