Yeah really, it's like these people have never heard of calligraphy.
More likely that finding someone in the west competent enough to do calligraphy is a lot more uncommon, and if for people who never see the characters they all look exotic, so the basic font is good enough for them. At the very least the tat in this pic doesn't seem to be fucked up (mirrored, missing radicals, etc) or using the fake font to "mimic" the latin alphabet.
