It might be the algorithms I’m getting (I follow a lot of cooking and some exercise channels) but I’ve never seen a similar obsession about getting enough fiber (something the average person actually undereats.) Is it just less sexy than meat? How important is it nutritionally compared to other things if you’re not an athlete or a vegan or something? Why is a meal that’s “high in protein” often positioned as good and why do you need to “boost” your meals?

Because fiber isn’t sexy and the advertising gods are good at making people stupider.
Fiber has been regarded as filler and nonfunctional dead weight by crackpot corporate ‘nutritionists’ for well over a century now. Peel off all the actual nutrients, bleach the remaining carb only powder, add a few whitening agents and market it as ‘pure.’ And yeah there has historically been a heavy racist element to all this shit.
