"Better" is a fairly loaded worded. I'd say average characters are much safer/easier characters to play, for a variety of reasons, and that ease of play results in less skilled or experienced writers getting much better results instead of fumbling around with a more complex and extravagant character that would require more finesse to play to appropriate effect.
They are not easier, quite the opposite in my view. The more average and common, the harder it gets to find something standing out, and then the more it asks for subtlety and a good grasp on believability.
Although your point is definitely true as well I guess. A case could be made for both. It's true that a modest character has less chances to be a ludicrous walking disaster when played bad.
