You said it best “They believe the reader is incapable of seeing the characters as human beings.”
This idea, not just in comics but even modern everyday life, that morals cannot be ambiguous strips ourselves of the imperfections of human consciousness.
Spoon feeding capable people information takes from their willingness to actually learn and grow as a human being.
Trust the audience, give them the information, allow them to come to a conclusion of their own instead of digging a way towards conclusion without thinking that a person isn’t smart enough find the alternative route.

I’m hoping to get a comic collection published next year or the year after. How do I go about getting pull quotes when the time comes? Do professionals expect compensation for that kind of thing? Is a cold DM a gauche approach?
Edit: What’s more, do pull quotes matter?

If I understand correctly it sounds like maybe you just go about proper citations and maybe hiring an editor to make sure everything is proper done, legally speaking.
As far as compensation, I don’t think it’s necessary as long as it falls within the lines of fair use.
Hopefully I understood your question properly.
