BG 3 did have a young, conventionally attractive, handsome male with a sword. It's literally in his name.
But somehow he apparently didn't meet the standards, I wonder what that could have been?

Yeah, honestly, Wyll is one of the best looking male characters out there.
And tbh, I don't care how characters look or if they are romanceable, just give me interesting characters with great backstories and don't dumb them down in release, because people think ' they are too mean' ( looking at you, Shadowheart and in a way, Astarion too. Bite night on the second or third longrest, even if you really haven't interacted with him?)
I really would love for Larian to tell their characters story and stop pandering to fancrowds. Shadowheart was so much more interesting in early access, it felt earned when she told you about the Shar worshipping. You could go a whole playthrough ( until Grymforge, the end of EA) without finding out about Astarion being a vampire, if you didn't follow the clues ( that boat and other things were more important back then). It felt more realistic.
Erwin: Gortash might have been a handsome young man but being a chosen of Bane changes you physically. Gortash as we meet him looks exactly how the lore describes someone, who was a chosen of the god of tyranny for a while, so that is lore accurate, the same as Orin decorating herself with flesh of her victims and Ketheric looking undead. They all show traits of their gods.
