They had a few different quirks, but most of them were the "smug dead eye" attitude kinda approach.
Stark was like that, Hallibel, Ulquiorra, the bald dark one Byakuya owned. Meh.
i think Kubo is REALLY bad in portraying more than 5 different type of personalities.
The captains felt fresh, despite most of them also having the "smug ass dead eye" attitude. The Espadas felt like a repeat.
Being smug doesn't mean they are similar... He just wanted to maintain an "aura" of intimidation around the espada by making them so serious... however, he was playing with characters who were belowthe espada.... because let's face reality... being smug and serious works to keep your intimidating factor....

The moment you start creating different quirk, the person loses lots of their intimidation... Bleach in particular is a much darker series than One Piece or Naruto in that the author loves the aesthetics and what is considered "cool" like skulls...etc... which is why Ichigo has a hollow mask and he looks scary instead of having a weird design like Gear 4th

Gear 4th for example, I'm not sure if you were around the community when it was first revealed on Dressrosa... but the design took a LOOOOOT of hate from fans.... the design grew on fans later on... but people shitted on the design, hated it... and EVEN NOW, you can see that in the fan art, but seeing people change his from from boundman and making his waist look more muscular cause it looks cooler

It just works,
similarly, Kubo knows having smug arrogant enemy works... he's a smart mangaka... Pica on other hand, sure we laughed, but what good did it do to Pica later on? people took him as a joke despite being strong monster

It's not that Kubo doesn't know how to draw different quirks, he just PREFERS not to use them, cause they get hate by fans

It's why Apoo or Capone are less popular than most supernova too... it's a FACT
