Yes, the problem with all new material is it is not offensive enough. You got it.
No,.it's not all new material. Bit it's a lot of inoffensive slop. Most places have declared the sitcom dead for that reason.
Comedy has to be offensive as it usually is a result of tragedy and time. Modern sitcoms are too family friendly but that’s a result of catering to everyone and no one at the same time which is an issue with most mass media today (and maybe always).

No, the problem is that they - as in , three camera sitcoms - are not willing to explore boundaries. Good comedy explores boundaries and that space where the brain goes "oh no they did not just say that" is often where the best stuff is.
IF they manage to pull it off correctly. If they don't, all the actors get booed and their show gets cancelled, so of course they're going to go for bland over edgy.
she said specifically 3-camera sitcoms, not all new material. Also there is a difference between "uncomfortable" and "offensive". For example the seinfeld episode "the contest" was edgy for its time but i don't think we'd consider it "offensive".
I admit i don't watch any new 3-camera sitcoms, so i can't judge if they are actually "too afraid".
