I'm assuming it's because Hell and the stories surrounding it already have established lore and its easy to extrapolate.
What if Satan was the boss at my job?What would his personality be? I married a demon somehow? How will I react? What crazy stuff can you do with magic and demons from hell?
It's easy to set the framework for a series with a topic that already has details behind it.
Just an observation. It's quite a strange coincidence you must admit.

equating jizz to a late term fetus. this. It's world building from a relatable template, which is easier than world building from scratch. only about 1% of the world is jewish, and no. OP might not know the origin of that pic and I'm hoping he used it out of ignorance.

That 1% also happens to rule the world.

Most cool angel/God stuff is found in judaism and islam. The cool stuff christianity offers is hell, and since most creators are american and christian, that's what they stick with.
Well, since most indie cartoonists mentioned live in a post-Christian society most people know demons and tropes associated with them but don't actually believe in them or fear them. And even some those who do believe in them don't necessarily think that an cartoon represation of a fiend can somehow magically spread their influence. Usually demons in cartoons either represent villainous force that can be destroyed without any moral dilemmas (kinda like nazis and vampires) or they are dark reflection of humanity itself. For first example, Leo and Satan (from, what, ten years ago?) is a dark comedy where Satan is both terrifying and goofy and causes evil and destruction with his presence and that is the fun part (naturally humour is subjective). And for latter case, in Hazbin Hotel none of the main cast are fallen angels except Vaggie but souls of the damned humans. Also, demons are and have always been very fun to draw. Hieronymus Bosch and even Jack Chick clearly enjoy playing with grotesque shapes and animal parts when they create these monsters. Also usually you have, as an artist, more freedom with demons than with angels. C. S. Lewis intended angelic counterpart for The Screwtape Letters was cancelled because he didn't know how to write a celestial version about infernal bureocracy. tl;dr, demons can be interesting characters when done right and monsters in general are fun to draw.
