I don't think there's a discrete class of person called 'an employer' to blame here. In my experience, the people running interviews are simply ordinary members of middle management from the department doing the recruiting, sometimes supported by someone from HR. And they make their decisions based on perfectly conventional expectations about personal presentation as well as competency. Those expectations are conventional because they are widely held.
