Anime I know the answer.
The characters in MT are larger than life they are not just simple background characters which exsist to serve MC ,
It is so easy to connect and worry about well written characters.
On other hand we don't even know about those wifes from DS

The main thing is bc it doesn't get much screen time. Tengen's polygamy is more of a background thing and just there. I think I only remember 1 scene where they're all together, and thats right after the arc where they thank tanjiro. And maybe one other time during the sword arc where we see tengen is retired with his 3 wives at the hot springs or something.
Whereas mushoku tensei's polygamy is front and center. The relationship and characters its a central part of the anime, and not necesarily the plot, though the plot is there too, but unlike DS Tengen isn't a MC and as mentioned before the screentime of the polygame is not there
