Are that we can relate to. They are human characters. I mean immature characters.
We expect some maturity from a person who made a inner conflict ridden tribe a prosperous one. Though that inner conflict returned at his old age.
For a second imagine them in shirt pants and salwars with some magical powers ( like the nagin shows or jadooyi jinn shows or whatever ) . Do you still expect anything ?
That's what those characters are to the makers and channels.
They used the name of Radhakrishna and some known ashuras like aghasur, bakasur and Keshi for publicity and to attract well-educated viewers like us who usually avoid typical crappy ITV shows. Then they got greedy and wanted the typical audience as well and the whole thing became a mess.
Most of the main storylines are just as similar to other nonsensical balaji shows specially since Radha's blackmail marriage ( it was purely kzk 3.0 move ).
We should be glad that Krishna doesn't manhandles Radha or Rukmini like other MLs. That's like more than enough at this point.
