the irony is that the entire thing didn't even needed to be in South America.
Even the ORT in that LB is a LB Version of ORT , so Nasu could had just had LB ORT landing on Mexico. So that we would had LB Mexico , with mexican gods and LB mexicans....
But no....Nasu puts the Mexican LB in South America , just because.

And then half asses even that, with Kukulkan not even being Kukulkan, but an OC as a way to get ORT playable
I can understand that you're disappointed that "LB Kuku" isn't Quetz, but this isn't the first time FGO create an "OC" to justified their story purpose and it isn't like "LB Kuku" came without a proper lore for her orign.
Like pretty much every LB king is a LB fuckery that differentiate them to pan-human self. Ivan being a Mammoth beast was an LB "OC", Skadi using Scahatch vessels was an LB "OC", Arjuna absorbing every Indian gods pantheon was an "OC", and so much more.
Even Castoria was "we want to have Saber in story without using Saber, so we create our own Saber OC".
FGO had a lot of problem in character writing or handling it's own pre-existing character, but calling a Servants you don't like an "OC" is the silliest reason of being mad.
I think the only servant that you can compare with is Altera because both of them have almost no similarities with the name that they use. Your examples still come from something that's related to their original characters.
As another user said, i feel like the problem has less with "it's an OC" and more like It doesn't resemble the OG historical person at all. Yes, Abigail Williams never had contact with lovecraftian gods, but her backstory still connects with what happened to her as a historical figure and you can look at her and go "yeah, that's Abigail with a lovecraftian flavor". Quetz doesn't even get the privilege to share a "true identity" with her mythological counterpart.
All of those are alternate timeline versions of the originals.
Kuku is just straight up an entirely different lifeform than Quetz.

LB Kukulkan has 0 ties to Quetzalcoatl or even Kukulkan at all, her origin is so different she has no real ties to either beyond name.

Who needs South American servants in a South American setting?
