I think you're mixing up the meaning of the Alex-type.

Alex is from Lunar 1, where the developers felt that less would be more in allowing the player to project himself onto Alex. Alex is a quiet, but not completely silent-type. But he is similar to silent-type protagonists like Crono and Mario.

Heero is from Lunar 2. A Heero-type specifically is meant to have a more fleshed out personality and history, because of the "Alex Effect" observed in Lunar 1 where Alex's quiet lack of a personality became his personality - rather than "making room for the player," Alex became "a quiet guy." Heero was given a strong personality to prevent this effect, and it worked brilliantly. The player still makes important decisions for the protagonist, but the Heero-type has plenty to say to fill in the space between major player-made decisions.

There are lots of Alex-types in the world of eroge. They try to make room for the player to project by lacking personality, but this causes the Alex Effect to take place.

A Heero-type, like Shirou or Yuuichi, has their own personality to fill in the void and prevent them from becoming awkwardly quiet or silent protagonists. This does not prevent the audience from associating closely with them, and that's the important part. Hell, if anything, we love them all the more for it, and make a million threads to analyze their characters to death about it. Shirou in particular stands as an example of this.
