You can break the rules, but for that the author needs to come up with a different theme and develop it in a way that makes sense, which requires a level of writing skills most mangaka don't have. Also, let's not forget these manga are published in shounen mangazines, so they have to feel like shounen to the readers, hece the recurring themes and tropes.
