I dunno, maybe they played with barbi dolls and my little pony as a child. Which is totally cool! You do you.
What possible concern is that of yours how others choose to explore this fictional world?
Even the barber shops aren’t safe from attack.
…or its Mr Sharpshear. Gnomes…and their doodads.
Pandaren are awesome, male Pandaren belly is awful and they look bad in plate.
Plus female Pandaren are cute. I like cute things.
Because I can?
Besides, females look better anyway.
Ok, I’ll play.
My wife’s name is Cindy. She was joking one day and told me to create a character that looked her…so I did.
My wife is a human, not an elf, but she is blond and sexy, so a female BE works better than say…a goblin.
We are in our 50s, happily married, gainfully employed, and have three kids…the oldest of which is about to turn 29. Probably not the stereotype you were hoping for.
I created this character in hopes that my wife would take an interest in wow and play with me. I thought that a toon with her name running around being a hero might spur her into wanting to try the game. This is not what happened, she looked at it for a couple minutes before returning to her phone game. It turned out that I really liked playing the druid I made for her so I just kept playing and it became my main.

Have you seen these pigtails? How could I not play a female gnome!
Female undead do flips dawg. Flips… the animations are sick. Also not all hunched back and skuliosis like. (Sorry I cant spell)

Do you mean role play as in the actual definition of role playing? I assume that to mean becoming your character and I, as a male, am now a female through my toon? Or do you just mean creating and playing female toons?
If it’s the latter, for me it’s obviously (to me) because female humans hands down have the best animations out of all the races. Though I do like the female night elf casting animations and rogue animations outside of the cheap shot while moving causing your torso to twist into 11th dimension as it does with mostly all of the hunter’s strafe left while attacking animations. lol
If i were to pick a second, it would be male orc.
Third would be male tauren.
That is all.
why do so many humans play as non human races?!
Because I’ve got a lot of respect for strong women given I’ve admired my mum most of my life for raising me and my sister singlehandedly and thus I feel the desire to play as strong women with Roleplay.
I know some play them because the male charaters dont look good to them
Wow, what a new and original topic! Good job finding a question nobody has asked before!
Anyway, my answer: To annoy people who don’t like men playing female characters in a game.
There are other reasons, but nowadays, really, it comes down to spite. Pure and simple. Just to annoy you.
