That's just being lazy. Just incorporate all that into the story organically, like everyone else has to.
My favorite example of this is Redline. There's exposition, but it's basically all in the form of news broadcasts about the racers.
Redline is wonderful.
Frieren is currently doing this perfectly
How is explaining things to a character that doesn't know them inorganic? If anything that's a lot more natural than characters just going out of the way to explain things everyone in the universe already knows. It's just another way of letting the audience know what's up, it's not horrible and evil and lazy just bc some anime you don't like do it
