For me it's because I would rather see the character pursue the goal, whatever it is, with their own motivation and through a great effort. Basically, if the character is prophecised to save the world it feels like they have already done it in the future. If they are supposed to have the weight of the world on their shoulders why not have them become the leader of a global world-saving group? Or maybe not even the leader, just a pawn with a most crucial task?

If these are done well, then I'm basically trash for the book

I am also obsessed with the boarding school trope. I also actively seek out books with that kind of setting (movies too - I love St Trinians and Wild Child). And, same as you, that possibly stemmed from my love of Harry Potter. I definitely agree with the idea that part of the allure is that the kids have more freedom without their parents hovering over them. But I think it's also partly that I went to lots of camps when I was younger, and the idea of a boarding school just seemed like an extended camp - just without the flying foxes and a lot more school work lol. Also the idea of living with lots of people your own age, possibly sharing a room with your friends, so you get to hang out all the time... There's so much that appeals to me about that trope. It's also a fantastic setting for weird/magical/mysterious/creepy things to happen, and that's usually what does happen in these books, and it's the sort of thing I love. On the theme of the boarding school trope, I recommend "Down a Dark Hall" by Lois Duncan. It was written several decades ago, but she did update it recently to accommodate modern technology. It's very creepy - all of Lois Duncan's books are.

Have you ever hear of the gallagher girls series? I think it's right up your alley. It has none of the hated tropes and it's about a boarding school for gifted girls to learn how to be spies. Espionage, a clueless boyfriend whose not an asshole, there's a slight love triangle but that lasts for less than a fraction of a book and she's already made her decision by the time it rears its ugly head, All of the main characters come from different backgrounds, there's a strong family aspect explored in many ways, there's a bit of a chosen one feel but more as them choosing to act on what they've learned. Did I mention POC characters? Because everyone's unique. There's a bit of "invisible girl" syndrome with the main character but instead of hating it, she embraces it because it makes her a better operative. It's an amazing series that gets better and better as they go. Short and written kinda foolishly at times but its language matures with the C characters so it works out.
