The real reason that teiflings become THE playable race du jour is simple, but @DaddyWarpig is being way to polite about it. As a player class it didn't fully skyrocket for the hipster crowd of rainbow players until a certain MMORPG came out after D&D 3.5:
Image In fact I'm surprised that most don't make the connection that the revival of D&D under 5th edition didn't suffer from the pink sliminess of WoW's racial takes and now the racial asymmetry of old D&D was thrown in the bin for Blizzard balance and "storytelling" Image

1) To @JohnsonJeffro you are close but there's a simplier reason that the Refusal of the Call doesn't work in heroic stories.

That's because most people who talk about Joseph Campbell avoid actually reading what he meant by that. And for laughs invite @Bdubs1776 for the ride. 2) Not actually reading what Joseph Campbell actually said but constantly referring to the stupid story circle that got pushed round by journalists shilling for bad super cape flicks has ruined the good that Joseph Campbell brought for people trying to understand myth.
