It's much more common in men than women.
No I'm not trying to start something here this is pretty documented, women get less shit that actually focuses on them in general so there's less self inserting outside of fanfics yumeshipping (which is fringe) and a lot of devs for games specifically encourage it so the dudes who play AC are much less likely to pick Kassandra even if she is the canon one.
This is also why any gacha ever that lets you pick between male and female just has everyone use the male character as the "canon" one even if the devs say both are outside of like PTN which is the one exception where everyone treats the female protag as canon.
