But where does that come from? I mean, are they just being stupid, or is it an accurate representation of the market?

I honestly don't know. I will say, one of the hottest erotica books I ever read had a so-called alpha male but was femdom. It was interesting to see a character who fit those stereotypes and yet was submissive. But I do think publishers to a certain extent are making assumptions. I think there are plenty of women who would buy other stuff.

It's a requirement for publication in a lot of major romance lines. Mainstream romance tends to be painfully formulaic because there's literally a formula authors are expected to follow in order to adhere to the house style.
