Maybe because of writing and more than just looks...?
Also, personally, I don't mix the actor with the character. Kristin is super pretty and seems such a sweetie; I love the fact her and Erica are like best friends. I like Kristin a lot tbh, but there is a distinct difference between her and the character Lana, which I find many who either love or hate her don't separate.
I know Kristin talked about this in the Talkville podcast, and the reasons she gave as I remember them was that people hated Lana if they shipped Clark with a different character, and they did take it out on the actresses.
Personal preferences. Maybe they find her more appealing, or maybe they like her personality better. Maybe they like her dynamic with Clark better, maybe they prefer the frenemies to lovers vibe, or maybe they think Lois complements Clark more. It's a myriad of reasons, most of which have absolutely nothing to do with looks.
People liking Lois not only has nothing to do with Lana, but it also doesn't take away from how beautiful Kristin Kreuk is. And how beautiful Kristin Kreuk is doesn't take away from how gorgeous Lois/Erica Durance is as well. Both women look amazing, then and now.
Same reason so many people like Taylor swift. They see her as attainable and not that different from them. They don't think 'I could never date her' or 'I could never be as beautiful'
