No, the problem is that they - as in , three camera sitcoms - are not willing to explore boundaries. Good comedy explores boundaries and that space where the brain goes "oh no they did not just say that" is often where the best stuff is.
IF they manage to pull it off correctly. If they don't, all the actors get booed and their show gets cancelled, so of course they're going to go for bland over edgy.
Our screens aren't wide enough to show where the current boundaries even are.
What the fuck could even be offensive these days that hasn't been explored to death.
