Imo it’s because the character creator is not so good. There’s very few face choices and each one feels real world ethnically specific. The fantasy species racial options are very jarring. The halflings and gnomes are goofy. Note that none of the provided characters are gnomes or halflings. You know ahead of time that you’re going to be wandering around with a group of largely classically attractive tall humanoids. The tieflings and Dragonborn look so jarring that it’s hard to imagine casually imagine picking them unless you specifically planned on it ahead of time. If your planned headcanon is to look like someone that people take somewhat seriously it feels like your respectable looking options are drow and human.
