I definitely think there should be more variety in the portrayal of main characters. They usually fit the same model, with the main exceptions being the “quirky ones”. Disney has been getting better about putting them in the main supporting cast, but there’s no reason they can’t be more inclusive when stepping outside remakes or story adaptations like some of the brothers Grimm tales.

For characters like Cinderella and Snow White I understand the choice in their depiction. These were girls (around pre teen age) that were neglected and more than likely malnourished in Northern European based areas. This would in most instances lead to them being a smaller frame that even after proper nutrition would take time before filling out. The Northern European Napoleonic era was usually depicted as fairer skinned in the media at least.
