From this article, Daredevil's Peter Shinkoda revealed that Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb told the writers to nix storylines involving Asian characters.
“Jeph Loeb told the writer’s room not to write for Nobu and Gao,” Shinkoda said. “This was reiterated many times by many of the writers and showrunners that ‘Nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people. There was three previous Marvel movies—a trilogy called Blade—where Wesley Snipes kills 200 Asians each movie; nobody gives a shit, so don’t write about Nobu and Gao,’ and they were forced to put their storyline down and drop it.”
Jeph Loeb was the person who had the only Asian character in Ultimates cannibalized by the Blob so I'm not surprised. Wouldn't shock me if me his views were reflected across certain other areas of Marvel but that's for another day.
