Basically it boils down to the romanticisation wolves received; most notable the "Lone Wolf" archetype.

Of course that archetype is absolute bull, as a lone wolf is weak and unlikely to get anywhere decent in life. Wolves work best in packs because they're not an apex predator as you pointed out, but media made a big deal about the wolf that got kicked out of its pack to become something amazing and now people pretty much think all wolves must be stronger alone.

Basically, a Lone Wolf story is actually an underdog situation that got blown out of proportion and now people think it's the best thign since sliced bread, despite real world logic saying that it kind of sucks. And that's the gist of why everyone wants a super amazing wolf faunus to turn up.
