Horror icons are boring, don't know why people want Jason Voorhees for example. He's just a big guy with a mask and a big ass blade. They need to be unique imo.
Probably has something to do with being a fan of that respective character, and the series they come from. Those horror icons are considered "icons" for a reason. They have a large fanbase, and are very recognizable. You can't go wrong there. Let us not forget that Freddy was the highest selling DLC character, after all.
I'm a big Friday the 13th fan, and would love to see Jason in. He's my personal number one pick. He's absolutely unique. You can describe him several ways, very briefly, and people will know exactly who you are referring to: "The one with the hockey mask" "The guy that uses the machete" "The guy from Crystal Lake" "His mom was the killer in the first one" "The one with the camp counselors" etc. Usually you'd only need to say one of those things, and people will know exactly who you are talking about, that requires the person to be unique.
Beyond that, if Freddy sold well, it means there's a good degree of horror fans who play Mortal Kombat. Which means Jason has a solid chance of selling well too(along with Predator etc.). The theme just fits for these types of characters to guest in a game filled with violence and magic. Jason for the most part has a lot of supernatural qualities to him, and those can be expressed in a game like this, and his violent background and the dark tone of the series, is a decent fit.
