Why do academic papers have so little personality?

It's something I really struggle with, reading dozens of pages on a topic that someone wrote but it feels like the writer is so detached from the subject? Why does the academy demand us to be unique and have our own approach on things, when they only accept lifeless papers? I've submitted many papers and assignments and I have always been told how unusual my writing was, because I only tend to choose topics I'm truly passionated about. I'm not getting this Master, which I have fought so hard to get the right program and scholarship to lose the one thing that led to it in first place. If I write with my mind it's never gonna accepted and I can kiss it goodbye to being published. Is there any balance I'm missing out here?
