Hot take: Most of Anime right now is far removed from the remaining unpalatable options these days. Every time I look at what's on offer for live-action streaming, it's either "reality TV" garbage, or some post-apocalyptic hellscape filled with graphic violence and PTSD inducing plot points. And it's been like this for years at this point.

Meanwhile, even the most violent Anime on offer has the make-believe veneer of animation over it, which is enough for a lot of us to not get triggered. The rest is either thought-provoking, a good feels-trip, or just slice-of-life stuff. It's nice.

There are many 'feel-good' shows though. Ted Lasso, The Good Place, Heartstopper. Or thought provoking shows like For All Mankind.

A lot of people like 'grim' stuff also though

This is true. I loved Ghosts, The Good Place is peak for a bunch of reasons, I've heard great things about Ted Lasso, The Great British Bake-off is always wholesome, and so on. That said, I think the feel-good offerings are far outweighed by the sheer volume of new/current stuff on Crunchyroll right now. Plus the syndicated Anime content on the main streaming platforms are also pretty stacked.

All the other shows left

Yup.

Makes sense people watch em. Netflix isn't the one making them (sometimes funding them, yes) so there's an actual chance at future seasons and an actual ending with closure.

People like that. Go figure.
