Why are there so many little people shows?

My friend said today that it's rude for us to watch these shows and find entertainment from all of the little people shows. There are quite a lot. Little Women LA, Little Women ATL, Little People Big World, The Little Couple, and 7 Little Johnsttons. Those are all I can think of right now. I don't really think it's rude. I think it's good because it shows how normal their lives are and teaches people to not look down on them or taunt them. Do you think these shows are created to make a mockery of them or to raise awareness and normalize little people? I think it's the second option.
