As a term chūnibyō is pretty much exactly characterized by strong inferiority complex and lack of self-esteem.
As this is so far apart from normal healthy person it makes only common sense that they are attracted by completely different type of entertainment as well, which makes them separate target audience for anime producers too.
When you understand this basic concept you also understand why e.g.
