Because Simon is the one sinking his own cash into whoever wins, so it's just business. A fat man can be viewed as a sexy singer, but a fat girl can't. Simon isn't debating whether or not that's right or wrong in today's society; he's paying the bills, and he knows what sells.
I've watched every episode for both seasons, and I have a particular interest because I spent some years in the recording industry as a studio musician. The things that Simon tells people are exactly what they would hear every day in the business. No different.
