Because their body is explicitly part of the canon in a live action source, which isn't the case in other sources. It's bringing in something from outside (similar to fanon attributing a character with the actor's tastes in food or music, their faith/lack thereof, their sexual preferences, etc)- I don't disapprove of it or anything, but it's an additional level of intimacy with the actor that isn't there in the original.

Also, depending on the canon, it could sometimes get a little weird. In animated or audio canons (or dubs, for that matter), you don't have to look the part- you just have to sound it. A voice actor can differ from their character dramatically- grown women can play young boys, a black man can voice a white Sith Lord, someone with a visible disability can play someone without and vice versa. Some canons even reuse their more versatile voice actors, so you can sometimes wind up with scenes where someone is playing multiple people in the same scene. Live action mostly doesn't have those kinds of situations.

...On the second paragraph - animation *HAS* a canon appearance for the character, so the drawing it like the VA wouldn't make any sense. However, wtnv, the character has the same freaking name as the VA, and no canon appearance. So it makes sense that some people would base their fanon version on the VA [who, for the record, seems perfectly fine with it.]
