Good vs Evil dynamic is a reason I see. Along with that Budo is a character fans often have a crush on and since Ayano is the closest to the player (being the one you play as and all) it can be somewhat self-inserty but to a lesser extent. A lot of people also don’t really like Senpai given his boring/lack of personality.

And of course how similar looking they are, that’s just a given.
