Because catering to male fantasies and desires is bad. Look what they did to AT, it was adjacent to the fantasy boy/hero genre much like isekais and they butchered that.

Usually the West has done portal fantasy, and there is some overlap with isekai. But portal fantasy is usually used more as a moralistic story telling plot device versus isekai that's far more wish fulfillment, hard escapism, and power fantasies.
>Portal fantasy: Harry Potter, Golden Compass, Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, Narnia: Lion Witch and the Wardrobe,
>Isekai: Re:Zero, Inyuasha, Konosuba, etc.
