It's not odd, it's just uncommon. There's no rule that say the protagonist has to end up with any particular girl unless romance is the focus of the story. The fact that many male protagonists end up together with the main girls is just a trope, and as such, it can be subverted.

I'm more interested in this from the creative and pop culture related point of view. The influence of editors, success, fandom, this sort of thing.

The influence of the editor was to make Naruto end up with Sakura, but Kishimoto chose to go with Hinata because that was his original idea at the beginning of the story.
