They keep picking self insert player avatars instead of actual characters though

They do indeed, but I can blame that on the fact that player-inserted avatar characters tend to have more variability in how they can be built (by virtue of being avatar characters that can be built according to the player's will), while lords with a more concrete identity tend toward being Marth 2.0. There's no reason the series couldn't produce another Hector, but until it does (and honestly, "it would encourage them to put a more interesting character into Smash" is a pretty flimsy reason for FE's development team to do such a thing, as much as it'd be nice), I'd agree with Sakurai's apparent decision that the player characters make for more interesting, unique fighters.
