I wouldn't be surprised if this was because there are more otaku-oriented shows made and watched than anything else. While there are some otaku genres that are rife with weak or derivative premises, that's true for other kinds of shows. I could have just as easily used the Nth iteration of Pretty Cure as an example. And I'm sure that if more children's shows were watched, we'd have lots more examples from there!

And that's not all - there's lots of genres like shoujo romance or sports shows that tend to use familiar templates as well. Lots of shows come to mind!
