Tolkien was English, Catholic, and a product of the Victorian Era. He has an excuse for long-lost kings and such. Everyone else just copies Tolkien.

Besides, long-lost woodcutter's sons just aren't as fun.

We obviously need to start up a new genre -- anarchist fantasy -- where the woodcutter's son topples King Arrogancegorn and everyone lives happily ever after! :-)
