I think you've answered a big part of the question right there: Gendered marketing means there are whole ranges of toys that are deliberately marketed as girls' toys.

Are you looking for the typical "patriarchy" answer? That men face toxic gender expectations that make it shameful for boys to like anything associated with girls because it is seen as lesser or weak by the patriarchy?

It's kind of hard to tell when the kind of dolls you're talking about are explicitly promoted as girls' toys.

There are heaps of parents who are delighted to dress their girls in pink, as ballerinas and fairies. If those girls don't want to wear camo pants and pirate outfits, is that because they're ashamed to want boys' stuff?

There's also plenty of parents today who wouldn't care if their sons liked dolls (what are action figures anyway?) especially if they're part of a range of different interests.
