About half of these countries were militaristic authoritarianist shitholes, some even not that long ago by historical measures.
Yet, all these cultures have proliferated, and you consider them worthy of studying. Same idea here. Give it time.

It’s not the same idea, as I didn’t advocated studying them when they were authoritarian shitholes who were actively slaughtering their neighbours.

You were telling about cultures worth preserving - and by your definition, most of the cultures you list were not worth preserving and should have become extinct. Good thing that they were preserved even through the worst of times.
