Being that a comic book (Superman, Supergirl) are written by an individual author, who is beholden to no one, I highly doubt that political correctness has anything to do with the storyline.
Just my opinion...

There are some Indies that allow it but those are smaller. Image comics initially allowed that but when they grew rules kicked in for them as well.
