Think the point went over your head a little.
Their stories have to be forced through, at least initially, or they'll never get made at all. Then once talented minorities have been given those opportunities the representation and growth happens naturally. The same as it has done for the majority.
If things just stayed as they were, then the writers would still be the same people, the producers still the same people, all writing from the same vantage points and experiences. Change does not occur naturally, it needs a little nudge.
The only way it would be in anyway a "negative" would be if it was taking opportunities away from a group of people, which judging what we see on screens and in the cinema has not happened, the majority still have... the majority.
The old "If they come up with a story then... great" didn't work out so well when... next to nothing was making it through the commission process.
