It's all about what media you consume. Some Japanese media don't give a fuck about historicity, and just wants to use famous names - and tbf, there are probably a number of Western works that do the same. But there are also a great number of adoring depictions, like Ad Astra and Thermae Romae; or, for a less animesque outlook, the love of Western culture and history poured into all of Hideo Kojima's work.
