As far as I can tell, the 'female werewolves can't have children' thing is a relatively modern twist born of people sitting down and thinking over the kind of effect drastic reordering of someone's body in order to shapeshift might have on a developing fetus. And then it just sort of became memetic after that.

Vampires don't really have an origin story, either, though. The currently popular incarnation might've descended from Dracula, but the basic idea of a blood-drinking monster is pretty pervasive, and some of the culture-specific vampire lore is actually really neat.

well, let me put it this way. There is no one huge book for werewolves like there is for vampires. Dracula was extremely popular and put the 'stamp' on vampire culture. (That was later fed by Anne Rice.) Dracula is an iconic vampire. Who is the iconic werewolf?

Werewolves got a black and white movie, sixteen years later. It wasn't until 1941 that The Wolf Man was produced and made the idea of werewolves popular. I still don't know of a book series about werewolves and werewolves alone that has been popular. (Anne Rice's sister was trying.)

Most people can point to Dracula (even if it's not the true case if you dig deeper) and go "there is the origins of vampires." To do that with werewolves is much trickier.
