I never thought of it as glorification. It certainly comes off that way, but i think that is giving the developers too much credit. It's simply "this shit sells, so make it"

It's the same reason the market is filled with lame quake and half-life knock-offs. Why create something innovative when you can make a bundle off of bullshit?

The video game industry isnt any different than the movie industry. If there was a market for movies about getting girls drunk and raping them, you bet your ass there would be at least 2 titles a year about that. (a profitable market, that is)
