Reptiles often have sharp teeth and often strong jaws, too, same with some fish. Breasts are for nursing young, and for an Avian with a nice hard beak (especially those with curved or hooked beaks), that would be incredibly painful. However, it still tends to make a lot less sense when applied to avian and reptilian races of creatures or aliens. Additionally, the adaptations needed for practical bipedalism would also result in this making a degree of sense for humanoids that evolved from mammals other than primates, such as Cat Folk, Wolf Men, or other mammalian Beast Men. Not to mention that it's easier to design a skin-tight rubber bodysuit with strange textures for use by human actors.
Aliens have Bizarre Alien Biology after all, and creators of synthoids and such would probably want their "children" to be anthropomorphic enough to fit in. If the character is an alien or artificial life form, then it makes a little bit more sense. If they want to be that egregious, they can make those non-mammal mammaries produce milk. This can be said for most male cartoon characters, and not just male animals. In such works, male animals are not necessarily given obvious pectorals. Giving all female animals big boobs, or at least a body shape that mimics them, allows for distinction between the sexes without adding glaringly obvious costume tags, a wasp waist, or the more bizarre gender-specific characteristics in some other animals that the audience may very well be unable to recognize as sexual dimorphism. Prominent breasts, or lack thereof, is one of the simplest visual cues for humanoids. Regardless of this, artists tend to oversize the mammaries of characters that do have them, or put them in places where they don't belong. Compare the bellies of a male and female dog, or even the chest of a female gorilla, and you won't find much difference unless she's recently given birth to a litter and is nursing young (that's about the only time she will ever have any vague semblance of what we call "breasts" on humans). Most animals do not have human-like breasts at all, even if they fall into the category "mammal". You'll doubtless notice the lack of a particular characteristic that is common to female humans. Look closely at a female reptile, a female amphibian, a female bird, a female fish, a female insect, or most mammals that aren't human or primate.
