i honestly think it stems from a marketing perspective. the Ball Python morph boom of the 90s is still going fairly strong. if you're a breeder and you want to sell at a show, what animals are you going to take with? the $200 Caramel Tessera Stripe Corns, or the $700 Pastel Enchi Leopard Coral Glow? the ball python "fad" is just stronger than the Colubrid fad.

guess what was vogue before balls, tho? Colubrids.
