Because putting the white people's names front and center sends the message, once again, that even a story like this is only worth telling if it's through a white lens, and that the audience is too stupid to empathize if that viewpoint isn't there.

Look, if you're deciding which actors to put on the posters that are being marketed to a certain audience, you pick the ones they'll recognize. It really doesn't have to be any deeper than that. It's like you're determined to find problems that aren't there.

I don't deny that the white lens attitude is an issue, I just really do not think this is a direct manifestation of that. Indirect, maybe, but not direct. The people who picked the publicity names didn't do it with a racist bias - they picked the names that will net them the largest number of views and the most money.
