Every players wants to look cool and be a unique special snowflake. It's half the reason we roleplay games. This has been true for decades and isn't a recent thing but the increase in games that allow more weird options (specifically D&D, which is like 90% of the market) is what has driven the explosion of half-tiefling/half-dragon/half-elven mary sues. Gygax warned about this back in 1979, so it's old news.
