In older games like Mass Effect, you could chalk it up to incompetence, because you'd have a 10 like Tevos right next to a lumpy fat bitch like Liara.
Nowadays, it's malicious. When they show off these character designs and people bash them, they don't go "ok, this isn't testing well, so let's fix it." They go "you chuds are bigots." It's 100% intentional.
Valve fixed the Barneys (though the name stuck) when everyone was making fun of them looking like Don Knotts.
