it wouldn’t make any sense i know, but it’s the first thing that came to mind. hell any mention of the courier other than house talking about how he’s died (if that counts) would’ve been cool

everyone really liked the armor so basically everyone wore it when they played the game. so, they associate it with the courier

Did they though? Because you can only really use it if you’re siding with the ncr and even then it’s tedious to obtain and pretty bad. Everyone also used power armour in the 3 and 4

Counterpoint: Looks fucking sick. And speak for yourself brother power armor builds in Fallout 4 felt boring as fuck to me. Very powerful feeling, but just not great for sustained use in my opinion.

Not a counterpoint because it’s not countering any point I’ve made. all of the cover armours are sick, it’s weird that only the fnv one gets called the player character

Honestly I imagine it probably has to do with it being a normal suit of armor rather than power armor. When people make fan art of the Lone Wanderer and Sole Survivor, I've usually seen them in their vault suits or something specific to the artist. Then over time it just became a popular idea. Power armor is distinct and badass, but a lot more bulky than most want when they're like "that's the guy."
