How much of "audiences don't sympathize with ugly characters" is tied up with "the media hardly ever portrays ugly characters as sympathetic, or as main protagonists"?

The audience hardly ever gets the chance.

Fair point

And in animation, you can use your art style to show a character as cute while still making it clear they'd be ugly in a more realistic style. Like Disney's Quasimodo.

This. I'm currently rereading the Dressrosa arc in One Piece and Senior Pink is a fairly beloved character despite looking like he does (or rather because he looks like that). Bon Clay isn't winning any beauty awards either but he's unanimously regarded as one of the best and most beloved characters in the story.

Both of them have great story lines. The audience can love unattractive characters as long as the author puts the same care into them as they do in their attractive characters.
