It has more to do with authenticity. What makes a lot of rap album so good for example is the fact that those people lived through the things they sing about. There are personal experiences that make their storytelling authentic and realistic.
Beyonce was raised in an upper class household (especially compared to other women of color), her father literally crafted the path of her successful music career, she had wealth in a very young age. So there's a reason why, especially in this point of her life, to try to pull a Nina Simone and sing the sad black sorrows is a tad... fake, and aesthetic driven.
