Thor was a duckbilled alien for a while and no one cared. A woman wields the hammer for a time and the sky is falling? When you have a comic book story running literally for decades you need to switch things up a bit from time to time.

I think in most of these “diversity” cases it’s merely companies trying to expand their customer base. There’s huge untapped markets just waiting for smart businesses to reach out to them.

As I mentioned previously, I am really hoping for a refresh of the Al-Qadim setting. As long as they do it respectfully I doubt there will be any significant uproar. Doesn’t one of the MtG settings have an Arabian theme?
