So yeah
why do they always refuse to become the protagonist of the story

A lot of these otome/game isekai protagonists seem to shun the main character route to avoid skull fucking canon because then a lot of their game knowledge becomes useless somewhat.

Because they usually also like the protagonist.

Sometimes, the plot requires something only the protagonist has, making replacing him impossible. Or like in this case, people are just prejudiced against him due to his eyes.

Simple... Being a Protagonist means shouldering a heavy burden of duty. They dont want to hold that responsibility or they dont want to be villaineous (especially, he is basically in a game story in which he is basically the villain)

Its more or less being free from everything else's drama which is something that coincides why Isekais/Power Fantasies are very popular in japanese media. "You want to escape the reality, so you go to isekai, turn into a hero/villain, but wait thats also responsibility, i dont want that"

I think its something like that
