Because (you) look like this.

to appeal to losers who wanna self insert
>this entire board

>It's a bad thing if the male protagonist is as boring and characterless and "normal" as possible, asexual buzzkill with a stick up their ass, resembling the most generic average dark-haired male
>It's a good thing if the female love interest is as boring and characterless and as "normal" as possible, asexual buzzkill with a stick up their ass, resembling the most generic average dark-haired Jap female (judging by the fact that these are the types who most often win MCbowls and top the popularity polls)

Because that's their target audience and has been for a long time.
Dark hair teenage boys.
The MC always has to look like the bland piece of shit when they are just shoveling out shit anime with current trend.
Currently it's isekais.
But remember the numbah 1 reason they always look like this is... it's from Japan so they make themselves the hero.
