The other races

It's not so much that alien locomotion is hard, as it is a lot easier to adapt skeleton systems between similar physiques. Imagine the difference between a human of height 4' and a human of 6'--not that much programming would change. But between a human and a tiger, the animation rigs would have to be completely redone, controls would have to handle the wider skeleton footprint, everything.

Again, not that it is harder, but it simply takes more time, time is money, and that time could be used to perfect other things.

Also, as the other poster mentioned, we humans like looking at/playing with other humanoids.
