I still have no idea why and for what end.
You seem to be saying that the particular period in some country's history, being a difficult one, automatically means one can only depict it in primitive cliche ways. I see no logic in that statement.
Mankind history has seen MANY periods of incredible struggle, suffering, upheaval. All of those have been depicted in various works of art in both good and bad ways. There is absolutely no reason why one could not tell a Wild West story in a serious, and artistic way, the fact it was not done (to my memory) is just the reflection of tradition and smart mass-marketing.
