Or you know, they'd go the usual anime/movie trope where humanity magically unifies against a common greater foe. Not like it's never been done before.

It's not credible in the least but you know, i've seen much worse when it comes to anime/movie/game/series stories or lore.

No need to overdramatize thing and make it sound like it's a big deal, it's not, if you have played some online games in the past decade you'll know that story and lore means jackshit, credibility and consistency neither, it's annoying and frustrating for some to admit but that's the way it is.

And vocal minorities never win, haters gonna hate no matter what. And this doesn't mean that some people are "haters" and are going to hate on everything no matter what, it's more simple, no matter what you do, some people will hate it and be vocal about it. It's all down to one single thing, business.

Introducing Allied ship will require a lot of time effort and resources, will piss more people then it pleases (the majority always resist and despise large scale change, human nature) doesn't seem worth it just right now. When the time comes and the game runs out of content or starts to decline, the scales will tip, and introducing something like Allied ships will probably be more worthwhile and put a jolt back in the games heart.

Also makes sense to always keep some tricks up your sleeve.

TL:DR : If allied ships are ever introduced it will be when it's worth it in a business pov (no it's not right now don't be delusional, but it might become in the future). Lore, story, pseudo internetz conflict, racism, revisionism, tinfoil hat therories, don't matter, never have, never will. Only money and business.
