Gregorian chant was practically invented for tenors. Nobody invented a genre for basses. You don't have to tighten your shorts to reach your note. You don't have to worry about a woman stealing your job. Or a pre adolescent boy.
Action heroes are always basses.
You get great memorable lyrics like bop, bop, bop, bop. If the singing job doesn't work out, there's always broadcasting. For fun, you can sing at the bottom of your range and fool people into thinking there's an earthquake. If you belch while you're singing, the audience just thinks it's part of the score. The rest of the choir exists just to make you look good.
