Yes, other pro sports heavily promote star players. In basketball. all the media does is fawn over star players. LeBron James has 53 million followers on X. For 15 years you couldn't turn on an NFL broadcast or analysis and not hear someone praising Tom Brady. Now the attention has shifted to Mahomes and Josh Allen.
The NHL is actually criticized for not promoting its players enough. Part of it is the culture of hockey tends to be more all-for-one. Part of it is star NHL players are often boring beyond belief. Matthew Tkachuck has been the biggest boon to promoting the NHL in decades.
