They’re making fun of every movie franchise implementing a “multiverse” because their franchise is dead. They’re also making fun of Disney for swapping well known characters to black/gay people to seem more woke.
I honestly thought the episode was funny but not hilarious, it missed some jokes but overall I thought the plot was good.
The fact that you called her "Kathleen somebody" indicates that you are largely unaware of the situation they are referring to at Disney and its probably the reason you didn't get it.
They did what Disney do, and Disney haters loved it.

So you don't get it because you don't know who Kathleen Kennedy is or who disney is and how they made terrible decisions on pretty much all movies
The fact that the alt-universe characters act largely the same is the point.
It's criticizing race / gender / sexuality swaps in media that impact literally nothing else about the established character. Meaning that it's done for no reason, other than to pander.
They even bring up this point in contrast with Miles Morales from Spiderman, as he's a completely different version of Spiderman than Peter Parker, with a different personality and backstory. And how that kind of execution is actually good.
But they also make fun of people sending hate mail and death threats to the companies / creators of these things, because that makes you an asshole and isn't a constructive way to address your complaints.

tbh it didn't even feel like satire to me, it just felt as if SP needed to have an episode where black women characters and voice actresses could have a role. As if they were doing exactly what Disney were doing instead of a parody of it.

I do, I just don't find her an interesting enough person to revolve a 50min plot around.
Did you actually watch the episode? I am totally serious, Did you actually watch it???
