Sure it it has. Quite often it has. Since its inception in fact. And still is. Wishing that it
wasn't just about that has never made it come true. Nor will it. Nor does being "just about that" demean any authors who've written stuff that happened to
transcend the trappings and themes that made it SF to begin with.

In your (and some like-minded others) non-authoritative opinion only.
What you're describing is what you consider to be
your kind of SF. And there's nothing wrong with that. It just doesn't kick anyone else's kind of SF out of the clubhouse.
