I read Romeo and Juliet and found myself caring MUCH more about Benvolio and Mercutio, so I know where you're coming from lol. I think it's because creators often try to make their protagonist appealing to as wide a variety of tastes as possible, and that often translates into "bland and generic." Whereas side characters can be as quirky and weird as the creator feels like making them, because the success of the work overall doesn't hang on THEIR ability to attract a wider audience.

I always felt so sorry for Paris. In terms of the feud, he was one of the few real innocents in the play, he only got hooked into it all because he was trying to do his duty by Juliet, and he ended up dead for essentially trying to stop what he thought was a vengeance-obsessed villain from defiling her tomb. Mercutio's death was horrible, but Mercutio was not exactly unwilling to fight. Paris was just in the wrong damn place at the wrong damn time. His death always felt so random and cruel to me.
