Sorry for the potentially controversial question: is it normal for less attractive people to settle down with partners they don't find physically attractive? (sh.itjust.works)

Not planning to. I asked to try to gauge whether this was widespread behaviour.

I understand wanting to get a read on how other relationships work, but I'd also like to say wayyy to many relationships are not good examples, and even the ones that do look like good examples can look very different from the inside.

Getting more information is almost always good, but be careful to take it with a grain of salt, and above all do what feels right by you and your partner over advice you got from people who's relationships you don't know too much about.
