If we only count the "poster boys" gundams >Barbatos >that one from Requiem who looks ugly as sin >Unicorn gundam (unicorn mode) >Gundam Latreia (pic related, Antagonist gundam from Battle Alliance)
Probably missing a few and that's not including all the OTHER gundams
but for your reason OP, it's simply due to marketability as it's THE gundam design
Because the Gundam is a pop culture symbol in japan. It's like their Star Wars. And besides, like other anons said here, not every Gundam is a perfect replica of Grandpa's face. For example, the Xi Gundam's face (at least in the movies, the original face of it in the novel is a bit more conventional), or the G-Self and the aforementioned Barbatos and Turn A.
MAYBE the God and Burning and the F91 and Crossbone could count, given how their faceplates work?
But that's not true at all? Maybe if it was before 2000, but almost all the Gundams starting with Turn A and SEED have such varied faces.
Literally all the Gundams from IBO except Barbatos don't have the normal 2 vent RX78 face, all the Thrones, and Arche, Reborns, Lightning, Gundam MKIII/Tertium, G-Self, G-Lucifer, G-Arcane, Lfrith and its variants, Aerial, Calibarn, Pharact, Kyrios, Abyss, Virtue, Dynames, Exia,Strike Noir, Aegis,Justice, I justice, Destiny Gp02a, Delta Gundam, Delta Gundam Kai, Blitz, Buster, Duel, Calamity, Age-2, Raider, Exia, Qan[t], 00 Sky, Turn A, Shining, Gundam MK V, S/EX-S, Alus Core, this goes on and on.
Most recent main gundams had different faces
I can only think of A Turn and Aerial.

Exia and Qan[T] don't have face vents
Because then people might b***h about it. See Turn A
>People hated the Turn A design
It was only hated initially, like when the show first aired, people warmed up to the design before the show ended.
Because feddies are imperialist bureaucrats with no soul.
Zeon suits are far more diverse and aesthetically pleasing because they're the true protagonists of Gundam.
Most gundams would look like moronic American jingoist "art" without the yellow vfin and yellow breasts.

God and Shining*. Confused the names, sorry.

Brand recognition
There's a lot of gundams with different faceplates
You have the entire IBO timeline where ever single gundam frame is unique
>OP is new
Where's my homie Mk. II?
>Turn A and Zeta are the only MS with different faceplates
>Everyone else just copies the original
do you think this is your problem? would you like to play cat's cradle?

Go away, Takeru. That's not Yashiro
