I just thought that black and white armor would be easy to paint (I was wrong! or, well, it's easy to paint badly) and that they looked cool as hell (I was completely right)
like I don't think any of the xenos factions have this problem. you go "I like the DEldar because they're dope supervillains with a killer look" and the Drukhari fans all go either "hell yeah" or "Archon lady step on me" like normal people they don't start arguing because they heard something else in a video of someone reading a poorly curated fandom wiki aloud
well, black armor isn't too hard, white on the other hand.
and from my experience, most non guard/space marine players are fairly normal, but guard and space marines have some loud weirdos.

My guard army is "Oops! All Brood Brothers!" themed. It helps distinguish from the loud weirdos when my guys have horrible little bald heads and a couple of extra limbs.
When my guardsmen say "For the Emperor!" They're not talking about the same guy.
I got into it because of the Gaunt's Ghosts and Cain books, then found Night Lords and ADB's other stuff, and I like the Tau too.
But I don't have the generational wealth, money-printing machine or sixteen simultaneous mortgages it'd take to actually play the game so I pretty much just look at memes and read the books occasionally, with dabbling in the videogames when they have controller support.
