You have to remember that WayV's market is China. The album has to fit Chinese aesthetics and sensibilities while still maintaining that WayV/NCT sound. So their music is a mesh of Korean, Western and Chinese influences. With that, WayV being also loved by a lot of Western audiences is just a bonus for them.
Lighthouse is not an obligated ballad. It was recorded 2.5 years ago during Covid when they could not meet any fans face to face, so it is actually a very emotional song telling how they missed their fans and their fans missed them.

oh okay! thank you for this context
And Chinese love soft sad ballads with easy to remember melodies. That's why they loved Horizon and Face to face.
