Both of these things do happen quite often! You're just not conditioned to notice it when it does.
Take for example the game Xenoblade Chronicles. Sharla's brother in that game is perhaps one of the worst damsel in distress characters in the history of gaming. His entire role in the story is him repeatedly needing to be saved, learning no lessons from it, and then doing the same again.
If it was a female character, people would've noticed that and there'd be articles written. Because it's a male character, most people don't even notice.
