Intent. It's fucking magic.

Sorry but even authors, no matter how much thought they've put into their constructions (and most authors haven't, they put in what they need and maybe a bit of color but leave the rest as a mystery for the ages) still come to their works with all their own prejudices and beliefs. Just because an author intends a pure hero and an evil villain doesn't mean they are actually writing those. The history of fiction is replete with pure heros who turned out to be douchebags when looked at dispassionately. Same as world building, well there are numerous utopias that would turn into Somalia at its worst within days.

There are dystopias that aren't that bad really, and everything in between and the author probably hasn't thought about it. And even if they have, well if they didn't put it in the work, then they haven't put it in the work and as glad as I am they've got a way that would work for them...that is only the way they are selling it to themselves. Once they shared it with even a single other person, that person gets to hold it up and see how that works for them. Storytelling is a collaborative artform, storytellers that don't admit that tend to have severely diminishing returns.
