Some of it is marketing. A lot of those foods are *already* high in protein, and companies just take advantage of that as a selling point.
In other cases, the foods are enhanced with something else (like whey protein) to give them a higher protein content than the “normal” version of the food.
The common denominator for nearly all protein products is that they are dairy based.
Milk is essentially a combination of water, fat and protein. Whey protein is the most common form of protein and it’s a byproduct of the cheese making industry which extracts the fat parts of the milk and leaves behind the whey with all the protein in it. You can readily change the protein and fat content of dairy based products, so protein products are simply dairy products with all the fat extracted whilst keeping all the protein
