It's cuz not only beauty standards, but what most people (not everyone), but from all my experience I've come to conclude.. want main characters as "good looking, hot people". And then people begin excusing the behavior because he's hot.
So it attracts those with beauty standards and even the people who make it have beauty standards and what they consider "beauty".
It's a never ending dumb a cycle.
To attract people into reading stuff --> Make story less engaging; but the characters typical "tall, tiny waist etc" stuff --> People come to read for it more than the story itself. Half of manhwas have no plot and are stupid tbh
I hate those stupid unrealistic stories where the bully victim is [overweight, has pimples, etc] and says " no one wants me" and then randomly 45 chapters later changes complete physique, has no pimples nor chubby faces, is muscular or skinny and is then considered "hot" and is why that character SUDDENLY attracts people around them (the NPC characters always mention "omg you're so hot now!" (??)
It is same mentality as plot of manhwas/stories; Lots of people are driven to toxic/abusive ones where abuse is romanticized and glorified -- and they keep producing it because it gains attraction and attention. Meanwhile, good plots with actual amazing storylines are not famous nor known, and in the "forgotten pile".
It's supply and demand basically lol.
Supply (art, character illustrations and how they look), Demand ("hot" according to beauty standards characters)

i'm100% = analytical and factual.
I analyze, I write A LOT [about behavior]. Straightforward.
pls stay away if you say It's just fiction to abusive characters, thanks 🙂.
