Because people with no interest in anime see it as a monolithic genre defined by the unbelievable wasterfall of fanservice isekai drivel. Pretty much all forms of animation still bear the burden of being seen as a genre within a medium rather than a medium themselves.
In all fairness, it’s is way too fucking common to start an anime and be like “oh shit this is pretty deep” and then episode three diverges into very uncomfortable underage stepsister beach episode filler.

Yeah that happens. I don’t like it too, it’s lazy writing at least.
