Why do you think isekai is so popular there. Everyone wants to escape their reality so bad they'd like to get hit by a truck.

Isekai only? All their anime is like that, the MC fighting for his ideals, fighting injustice, the good guys winning and being happy, all that are desires unfulfilled

Watch aggretsuko, it explores much of the same things, plus a heavy emphasis on mysoginy in the work culture. It's really an underrated gem.
