It's not always like this. If I want to find someone to make me characters for my game I will look for style I want to see in my game and ask them "oh what you're demonstrating on your artstation/twitter/whatever is great, could you do some characters in that style for my game". What I will absolutely NEVER do is: look people portfolios assessing their objective skill level and try to hire the most skillful person demonstrating works in totally different style justifying it with logic like "oh he's so objectively good at his craft maybe his skills will transition well to the style I'm looking for!".
