From everything I have seen, Fursuits feature in media because:
They're photogenic. Featuring Random Dude as a visual doesn't help tell a furry story like a magical-talking-animal-mascot. Filming a writer typing doesn't have impact like 6-foot squirrels having a party.
Fursuits are what you get by filming outside cons or in the lobby. Media makers are cramped by releases and restrictions that keep them from following people into private spaces.
A lot of most active fans are fursuiters - especially ones who go to cons, do the most tourism or will spend thousands on commissioning an artist. Sure someone with a huge library instead is just as active, but you can't bring that with you to show it.
The film makers aren't magically granted a huge budget to travel to everyone's house. If you want them to come to you, pay them.
They do focus on history, they interviewed Mark and Rod the other week.
They just won a budget to do a movie, but $20K doesn't make a big movie and won't cover their costs, lots will come out of pocket. There's a high cost hurdle to get it on Netflix, so look forward to more content that fits their standards under budget restriction.
As always, if people want better stories, start telling them, or funding them, or let creators create.
