"Just looking at them from a glance, most look extremely similar to me."
Most companies keep the same basic look for all their sizes and models, just like car companies do. It tends to keep satisfied customers in "the family" and reduces the time and effort to work out new designs or make changes to the older ones.
And of course there is function. There are really only so many ways to make a revolver or an auto pistol so, again like cars, guns of one type all tend to look alike, regardless of maker. IMHO, revolvers by different makers tend to look less alike than do auto pistols, which now seem to be all black "plastic", and hard to tell one from another at any distance.
