This is definitely true, though it seems more common in high fantasy than it does low fantasy, dark fantasy, or the sort of "grim fantasy" that's become really popular lately (thank you so very much A Song of Ice and Fire). Mostly because high fantasy is supposed to be about uplifting epic adventures, and accurately pointing out all of the peasants who can't read, who are barely scraping by or are outright starving, or who are dying of the plague can be something of a downer. But darker or more realistic fantasy almost seems to revel in describing all of that human misery in as great a detail as possible.
