Because of stereotypes, to answer you simply. The stereotypical idea of a gay man is a girly effeminate weakling of a nancy boy. Vaan is pretty effeminate. Kratos is a manly muscle man with a staunch deep voice who slices stuff up, bathes in it's blood, then screws women in the cabin of his stolen pirate ship. That's pretty much the epitome of masculinity, in video games at least.

That, and Kratos actually had sex with women, whereas Vaan didn't go anywhere near that.

It's silly to still think like this beyond age 14. A lot of people do though.
