There are still enough western stories left untold that there's no need to pillage other cultures for a quick buck. I would love to see more representation of all cultures, myths or not, but I don't think the best way to do that is through churning out movies from Hollywood about them because that's what's in now. There has been more good representation recently, but that's not the takeaway from KPDH in my opinion. Josie and the pussycats is arguably superficially pretty similar, so it's not like the overall concept of girl group saves day through music and friendship hasn't been done in western media, this just had more fighting. I think the takeaway is that people aren't exclusively looking for established universes or known creative teams. Studios are unwilling to take chances on unknowns and it's causing a drought of creativity and originality. There's also a lot of created by committee issues that arise when studios do try something new that ruins the whole thing. I don't want to see a movie where every line was focus tested. I want to see a cohesive film with a point of view.
