Unfortunately we're past the era of people doing things out of passion. Now, everyone either just wants to make easy money or have some stupid political agenda to push.
Stan? Stan just wanted to make characters that people could relate to and tell interesting stories.

Tom Holland's Peter Parker does it too. Holland is British, yet Peter Parker is an American character, so he has to put on an American accent to make it believable that he's actually from Queens.
Apu has the accent so that it's believable that he's an immigrant. Hell, there was an entire episode dedicated to him acquiring citizenship, plus many more episodes devoted to him. In terms of Simpsons characters that aren't the core Bart, Homer, Marge, Lisa and even Maggie, he's one of the more fleshed out characters in the entire show.
He's deeper than a simple token stereotype. Anyone who's actually watched the show knows that.

There's literally no way to please these people.
