Like I said, the majority of players seem to make this choice (according to that interview with Swen), not just me. I understand your reasoning and I am not arguing against you here. In fact I would love to see some content that is there specifically for custom characters, but I think it is an incredibly difficult thing to achieve, since everybody will want a different backstory and it is impossible to please everyone with such a feature. In trying to please everyone, you please no one.
