For the most part I agree, although when the main story is being told in film or a TV show, I consider comics and books as alternative content for people who already loved the original content. That's how I viewed Equestria Girls, the EDW comics and Pony Life regardless of the many complaints I've read about the last one.
In my case, it doesn't attract to me as much as other fans. I'm only interested in A New Generation (which, by the way, I'm impressed how it looks for a 2021 animated film that was made during the pandemic), Make your Mark and Tell your Tale a little bit.
And about the comics, I don't consider that problematic considering that Friendship is Magic has tons of egregious episodes in the last 4 seasons.
