I wouldn't say ALWAYS, but agreed, and it's a problem in pretty much all media, not just games. https://twitter.com/estarianne/status/1259643506319978498
The real lightbulb moment for me as a kid was watching an episode of Star Trek: TNG. Riker and Troi were both climbing a ladder, into a ship crawlspace or something.

Riker goes up the ladder, and the camera stays on a bust shot of him the whole time. Makes sense, whatev.
But when Troi climbs the ladder, there is a slow pan over her entire body going up the ladder-tits-to-hips.

And little kid me was like "...What? Why?

"...Oh. This is for BOYS. But there's nothing for GIRLS."
