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?

It is fairly easy and common to have a bad diet and still be short on protein.
However I think the advice to get more protein is focused on people who are trying to eat better and people who are trying to eat better will often think, salad, fruit and veg.
Now salad fruit and veg are a great start, but if you build your diet around those you’re almost certainly going to be short on protein if you don’t make a conscious effort.
