Except there actually were people of different cultures/ethnicities/nationalities in other places in the past, often without anyone caring that much. Sure, it was often notable but it wasn't always exclusionary. Implying this shouldn't be done is the real historical fiction.

"It happened" and "it is good writing" are different imo. I just want diverse characters in typically mono-ethnic settings to have a story as to how they got there. I feel like that's just good writing.

It could be part of good writing. It absolutely isn't required. We don't get the background on most characters. Why should they have to give detail they wouldn't provide for other characters just to satisfy you?
