I did a whole post on this topic on my now-defunct, non-game blog a couple of years ago. If memory serves me right I attributed it to several reasons including: trying to make their fat faces look skinnier; intentionally distorting their faces (as mangadooza mentioned above) to create a plausible deniability of looking terrible in their pictures (insecurity, basically); and massive copy-catting of one another, because they think it's "cool."
But, the most common reason is this: this is American girls' best attempt, believe or not, to look sexy and "pouty." But since American girls (who pioneered this stupid-ass face) don't know how to be sexy, you get this shit.
I thought of your explanation in the second paragraph as well - American girls don't know how to be sexy in any subtle,
alluring or
suggestive way, unlike say, French women. They have to resort to putting it all out there at once. It's like horror films - some of the older classic ones would never even show you the monster, they would just insinuate its existence. Nowadays, every horror film is trying to top the previous one with grisly zombies, decapitations and geysers of blood.
A sexy woman can arouse a man with a feminine yet devilish smile alone, but most American women can't (I can post some NSFW vids later, as examples, where a girl is clothed and just having a casual conversation, yet radiates sex). Since American women are de facto cripples when it comes to sexuality, they have to make overtly sexual gestures, like showing off their cleavage, bending forward, making their lips appear bigger, kissing other girls, patting their ass, etc. I do like that they act like pornstars in bed though.
And the copy-catting because it's cool effect just amplifies it.
