It isn't "japanese people" so much as japanese writers who write what they know... and they're actually somewhat unfamiliar with "thinking like Westerners" when it comes to developing Western characters, much like Western television writers often "get it wrong" even when writing western characters for Western television.
Sometimes I'll watch the Big Bang Theory ...a sitcom about nerds and geeks supposedly. They actually get a fair amount of the behavior and how the characters might react just flat wrong.
