I honestly find the tale of a fantasy setting more compelling when the Main Character has grown up in that type of setting, rather than being thrust into that world due to an inter dimensional portal or something.
It's more compelling because the Main character is not as frustratingly ignorant about the world around them. You can't blame the otherworldly main character, but I honestly find it frustrating.

I think many stories do the throw normal human into fantasy setting thing because they want the watcher/reader to put themselves in the main character's shoes, and since the watcher/reader is equally clueless about the fantasy world as the protagonist is, it should help familiarize them in the simplest way possible (such as learning from trial and error or having someone tour you around). Prolly the reason you get frustrated with it is because it's been done way too much in fantasy
