I thought that was the actual reason and not just a fan theory?
"The characters in that movie called them aliens, but it was never explicitly demonstrated what they were or why they were on earth. People are much more accepting of aliens these days, and the idea was that if demons appeared among us, they would be perceived as aliens."

If it had been talking about demons at all during the movie this would eliminate my major problem with the movie.
There just weren’t enough rules about the universe demonstrated to the viewer to know what’s going on.
And I know Shyamalan is capable of this because he did such a good job with this in The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.
I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.
