I have a Theory that might make sense to some. I Just finished watching season 5 of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and they Explained the word GraySkull for every-time when Adora calls out "For the Honer of GraySkull" is basically a code word this was proven in Episode "Return to the Fright Zone" were Bows Fathers shout the words For the Honer of GraySkull witch shows the map to the Fall Safe that will unbound Ether's Heart and Restore the Magic to Ethera. and " Heart Part 1" Horde Prime Explained what happen to the "First Once" how he so called Defeated them but he also goes on that I have "Memory of it" Now here is my Theory because of Prime said "I Have No Memory of it" maybe that he was actually Defeated by King GraySkull him self and force to flea Eternia but only to Destroy whats left of its Mighty Empire including Killing GraySkull. So who is Mara the First She-Ra I think Mara is GraySkull's Twin Sister, and in act of Vengeance she and several of GraySkull's Army Followed her into Space seeking Revenge on Horde Prime. Knowing his Weakness is Magic they Sought out Worlds Rich in it to stop him but when they finally got to Ethera Mara had enough of it and rouse to stop her People from taking life away thus Mara saw that they became like Horde Prime and she said enough is enough and plunge Ethera into the Dark Dimension so her people cannot find it and use the Hart to kill everyone on Ethera!

The Theory Came from what Horde Prime Said in the second last Episode where he in counter Eternia that it was Technologically enchained and Magic based society. When they attacked it they Devastated and Killed King GraySkull and Mara his sister took a fleet go after him for revenge and Eterna was set back to zero and the Magic of the elders sealed Eterna away like how Mara sealed Ethera away too. The Main reason why GraySkull was never mentioned in the mythsos During Princesses of Power Series is because the story was focused on Ethera and war Agents the Horde. We got glimes of Adora's Past and how Light Hope got Mara's Decanted from Eterna aka Adora from Eternia to Ethera and they mentioned it because the Director and Show Runners wanted to kept the focus on the Princesses and not on GraySkull Family.
Like pretty much any 80's-cartoon made by companies like filmation, or Sunrise/Bandai-brand Anime. The latter ones ironically often do have solid themes that stand the test of time though, despite them being meant to sell model-kits primarily.
I guess the more advanced audience simply enjoys the meme-potential of 80's She-Ra (because Adora *is* a meme)... but other than that, you are absolutely correct.
The companies benefited from the "disguised" advertisements, the kids liked the shows, and the influx of cash kept the animation houses afloat along with new technologies chipping away at the high cost of animation which together was enough to keep the industry going until cable increased the demand for network ordered cartoons again.
The events of the cartoon never took place in the Battletech universe... but...
They made it a cartoon IN the Battletech universe! Kind of using it like a morale booster in the Inner Sphere and to show the Clans as incompetent or something. Pretty clever way to make something canon without canonizing the events shown in it. lol
It's one of the smarter retcons I can recall.
