OP, if you're wondering about why RE's story played out the way it did after CV, the reason is that the post-RE2 games kept getting rebooted/reworked along with the story writers ultimately leaving before RE4 was rebooted for the final time.

Code Veronica was supposed to be a "taking out Umbrella" game in the very beginning with a plot involving STARS investigating Umbrella in Europe before they decided to change it to be about Claire searching for Chris. RE4 was meant to be the "taking out Spencer" game with Tony Redgrave (Dante) in the DMC build investigating Spencer's castle and discovering the Progenitor virus; the Castle and Hookman versions of RE4 had pretty much the same premise but with Leon in Tony Redgrave's place. The Castle and Hookman versions ended up getting canceled because of technical problems.

Shortly after RE4's development was rebooted once again the writers who had written for the RE series starting with RE2 (Noboru Sugimura and Yasuhisa Kawamura) left the series, although their departure was not related RE4's troubled development. When this happened, Mikami took over story responsibilities for RE4 and came up with a premise that was mostly divorced from the plots of the previous games.

How do you "take down" Umbrella? RE4 was the perfect next logical step, the company officially folds but all the researchers and senior members flee into the shadows. The company was destroyed by now their data might go into the wrong hands, like the Plagas cultists, because of Wesker. He was the last loose end. RE5 at least tried to move the series forward with Tricell and tying up the Wesker stuff. It would have been a great breakaway and chance to start telling new stories. Too bad RE6 shit the bed and we'll just continue to get Chris, Leon, Ada, Claire and Jill for the rest of time.

Hell, Umbrella was supposed to have gone under after RE1! The original story for RE2 (RE 1.5) was even going to have that be the case. Then when they rebooted development and got a new writer for the series (Noboru Sugimura), he decided to bring Umbrella back so they could be the recurring villainous organization for RE. Sugimura had envisioned that Umbrella would be to RE like what SPECTRE is to the James Bond franchise.

I think just the Ashcroft family has Nazi ancestors, as Alfred is clearly German. I actually really liked Alfred and Alexia. Alfred was really unhinged and one of the better human villains in the series. Like, he could have appeared in other games. I like him more than the Napoleon wanna be in RE4.
