Because Tony Soprano is a fictional character and in a certain sense a suburbian mafioso he is a character you can identify with: he does what he wants because he is the boss, he takes any woman without repercussions, he spends all day in front of Satriale or at Bada Bing etc while the real life mafioso like DeMeo is a mobster that kill cutting his victims in pieces,sell drugs,rob cars,snort coke with his crew,kill an innocent boy and at the end he die betrayled by his own men.
Not a glamour mobster.
