Think about it, no other series of movies have ever had so much latent and hidden symbology and subtext, I mean it was so much that it became a publicly know thing even with NPC's...
edit: when you are good and have a good message but live in a bad guy world, trying to have obvious goodguys deliver that good message is likely to fail to the point of the message never even getting close to being spoken..
If you however use the bad guys and let them think they are making a hidden bad guy message, many things suddenly become much more possible.

Do you really think that only the DS present one surface where everything is one thing while what is actually happening under the surface is something entirely different..
Good people on the surface used by the DS and actors also used by the ds with what is under it is rotten to the core.
The other way around can be true as well, badguys on the surface being used and manipulated by whitehats without realizing it.
People get too easily distracted by the surface, look deeper...
