Because Blizzard (originally) chose to emulate 80s fantasy art (Frazetta/Vallejo) and comic books where everyone has idealized form. The dudes were absurdly buff, even the nerds, and the women were busty. Meanwhile, gamesworkshop leaned on the grimdark aesthetic, where sex appeal was relegated to grotesque cults. Going into the 21st century they doubled down and wound up in the grimderp era where nothing was allowed to be classically beautiful. It certainly helps that Blizzard managed to attract mainstream interest for a long time while gamesworkshop languished in its quiet corner of the world until they started investing in products outside the tabletop miniatures.
