I'm afraid I've found the subconscious reason why some people may not like to play as Hawke. Not by wanting to use the warden, not by being unable to choose your origin.
We're told Hawke flees Lothering and then becomes the most powerful man in Thedas.Not knowing how or why all this happens, the actual questions are these:

Why does a man who fleed from the blight DESERVE to become the most influent being on the world?
Why does a man who didn't participate in destroying the evil power who could destroy the world have a place in history higher than those who fought bravely?
Why does hawke get the glory when my warden fades silently in history books when he did no good and fleed?
Why does a man who did NOTHING to fight the archdemon have the right to shape thedas?
How I'm going to get involved with the story of a man's rise to his own power when others are doing the epic tasks at the same time?
How can I care about a man who seeks power for himself when I just took part in the story of a hero who saved the world?

At this point, and with the current information we have, these are the questions that arise to me.

Some of those questions will be answered in time. Some are only going to be answered by playing the game-- the question of why Hawke became a legend is the central question that the story of the game answers. Why this would lead you to "not respect" Hawke is a bit strange to me, but fair enough. At this point in the marketing I imagine he's a fairly blank slate.

I think all your concerns can be answered with three ideas.

1. You'll have to play the game to find out.
2. Things can happen in more than one place simultaneously.
3. You are allowed to experience more than one thing in your life.
