Whoever created that did a poor job. Why did they use Yoruba (Nigerian) as a proxy for East Africa? They are also not the only predominately SSA population around. There are plenty of others which are better measures. Especially those from the East. LMAO. I feel embarrassed for whoever generated that.

Those proxies are bad, but to answer your questions, they look madow due to Omotic admixture. Even a tiny bit of omotic admixture can make you look madow. A lot of Amharas also look madow due to it. You should also specify which groups you're referring to when it comes to eritreans and ethiopians as they are nationalities made of different unrelated ethnic groups who sometimes do not even cluster with each other.

They don’t, at least not from what I’ve seen. Most of them have lighter skin, thinner noses & lips, and more angular faces than Somalis. They’re basically Yemenis, but with slightly darker skin and much rougher hair.
Having Omotic admixture isn't the reason. Also, what does the OP even mean by looking more 'madow'?
Thinner noses. Nope. That's more common in Somalis. Angular faces are more likely, along with eyes that protrude. They also have a lot more variability.
You haven't seen Yemenis then. Tigrayans are very clearly black looking but less so than other Horners. They have lighter skin than us but their hair type and nose profiles are about the same, if not more madow.
Why do you desperately want to corroborate the level of admixture with something like appearance? That's the real question. Somalis selected for certain traits given they are featurist hence why it's commonplace. There is no reason to read that deeply into this.
What do you think the reason is? Could a large presents of omotic correlates with certain physical attributes, this maybe a theory but I am just guessing it's the reason why other non-somali horners tend to have kinky/course hair, short limbs and other things that may look "off" for Horn standards. Is it plausible to say that Omotic admixture seems to counteract their eurasian admixture which is why they don't look as eurasian shifted as they should be?
^ Also, the average Somali rarely has any Omotic admixture and even when it's found it's a very small % which is maybe why Somalis aren't affected if the above statement is true.
As for what OP is referring to, could it be the lack of these aquiline features that do vary in Somalis but are still found in high concentrations among Somalis. A lot of these other horn african groups sometimes look very typically SSA despite not carrying any admixture from otherside the horn or southern arabia
Autosomal DNA and phenotype are intertwined
Its the more plausible explanation than Somalis being "featurists" which I never heard of before.
I would say more brown skin than darkskin.
Eritreans themselves look madow despite them being very light.
Lightskin Somali looks very different to Lightskin Eritreans
It’s probably due the fact that they have another African genes we(Somalis) don’t
A part of me doesn't really care. Ethiopians are quite diverse, even in terms of phenotype. Some look more 'Cushitic-like,' others not so much. Most tend to have narrow features, just not the same as Somalis. Bear in mind they are more diverse than us and not as insular. And yes, the Somali preference has been toward narrower features.
Habesha or Ethiopia as a whole ?
Lmao I found this
Habeshis themselves are a confusing bunch. The only consistent thing about them is they aren't very consistent in appearance and have many sub-types.
Can we say the most Asian looking between east Africa (Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia and even Tanzanian/omani ) is Somali the barawnis, ashraaf, shaashiya in other words baandirs people
They have the most South Asian admixture.
