It's the same reason why Jesus is depictated as a white guy with blond hair and blue eyes... people draw stupid stuff. They want their deity to be "pretty" and for many white artists that means Arian as hell with no attempt for realism or history.
I would love a picture of a non-traditional deity because the "traditional" depictions suck.
