This isn't true though.

There are plenty of whinny, bitter histories written by losers who can't admit the real reasons why they lost. Reddit is full of references to them and they are very popular in woke academia at the moment.

You get a hand full of decent ones and they are well respected pretty much across the board.

the history of Hitler's "final solution": relocation of jews to Madagascar. Not seen that getting much recognition.
