Elf Propaganda. Their race is dwindling and male elves, by most accounts, are too effeminate to arsed to do anything about it. The "Isekai Elf Slave" is meant to portray elves as submissive, loyal, and high value ("people pay good money for these things!") and thus as ideal partners for family-minded human men. This is also why you constantly see Elf-Human pairings across the board, going back to the Lodoss OVA and even Tolkein (Arwen and Aragorn, Beren and Luthien, the list goes on.) The Lodoss OVA itself is basically 6 hours of barely subtle elf propaganda - Parn gets the good end and becomes a hero because he recognizes and accepts Deedlit's desire to get her back blown out and her womb filled with adorable half-elven baboes, while Ashram's defeat is symbolic of his callous rejection of Pirotess's obvious biological need to become his concubine. I'd be more alarmed about our culture being infiltrated with this level of pro-elf propaganda if elves weren't so hot and breeding them wasn't so incredibly based, but I can't fight human nature.
