Is it really that weird? late-night anime is mostly otaku-oriented, filled with moe, loli, or fansevice (or a combination of all). It's just natural for non-otaku people not to be interested in such things (or even to be grossed out by them).
A fairly good number of LN labels target the otaku too, and therefore also include the sort of content already mentioned. Imagine the embarrassment of being seen on the street reading a book with a loli on the cover; I would need one of those paper/plastic book covers you mentioned too then
