Ive seen that so many times. And it’s not just the ‘”main character who’s supposed to be anonymous so his hair covers his eyes”. Like, it’s an actual tag/kink when girls have their eyes covered, or hidden, or their eyes disappear under their bangs ecc. Why is it a thing and why is it hot?

Because drawing eyes suck
It’s more general thing in manga and anime. The character’s eyes are not missing, omitted when they experience strong emotions such as anger, shame, fear. Conceptually, they are covered by the eyebrows or bangs, but artistically, they are drawn missing. The eyes are said to be the mirror of the soul. I understand this move as if the person is not totally in control of themselves.
I think when they do it consistently like you can never see the main characters eyes then it’s a way to make them have less distinctive features so it’s easier to insert yourself. Same reason why the main character has plain, straight black hair is because it’s the most common
It’s a character trope, same as how the colour of the hair denotes their aura/archetype
I believe MCs in hentai are meant to be faceless so it’s easier for a viewer to imagine that they’re that character
Just less animation work. Most hentai takes all the shortcuts it possibly can because they have very low funding.
For MC no eyes is a way to make it easier for guys to insert themselves. But women’s eyes that are deliberately not shown is probably a way to objectify them more, as women in hentai are not to be perceived.
BUT blindfold hentai? Das the good shit right there.
