Yes. And, for better or worse, that really is what most people prefer. Average looking people just don't attract viewers in the same numbers that attractive people do and less viewers equates to less profit.

Being in movies makes people attractive. There are loads of attractive people who couldn’t get a job in movies to save their life.

Yeah man. I’m an actor and every day the most good looking people you have ever seen audition for roles and can’t get shit. You think beauty is some objective fact that everyone agrees on but it’s not. It’s a product that’s sold to you and you buy it because you want it believe in it.

Yeah, there are objectively beautiful people, as you've just admitted to. They also need some degree of acting talent to get decent roles.
