Guile was the main character because he represented the quintessential all-American hero, and the filmmakers wanted to appeal to a broad audience by using a charismatic leader for the role. Plus, casting Jean-Claude Van Damme didn’t hurt, as he was a big star back then!

The producers probably wanted to cash in on Jean-Claude Van Damme's star power at the time. He was a big name.

I think it's because Guile had a more relatable backstory for a movie plot, with his military background and quest for justice making him a perfect protagonist.
