Money? It's Square Enix lol.

Writing/localizing issues because of a name? Right, like they have no way around this.
All of these were already addressed:

Voice acting is crazy expensive and would add loads onto the amount of funding the game needs. These resources could be spent on doing things like developing more dungeons, trials, and other content which would have a far greater impact on your gameplay than a few lines of dialogue being voiced.

Using pronouns and generic terms such as "you" "champion" etc was already explained above, it removes personalization. Mass Effect actually got annoying at times where you were forced to use the last name Shepard and your first name doesn't once come up in the game (I wonder why it's even there).

And in WoW.... every world quest.

CHAMPION! CHAMPION! CHAMPION! CHAMPION! got old after awhile. As much as I think Khadgar is a cool guy, I just grit my teeth when he yells out "Champion!" and proceeds to tell me he wants me to do something. It gets old. Fast.
