It truly is about the cutest thing I've ever seen. I saw an article online last week that talked about how, psychologically and design-wise, it hits all the ideal, centuries-ingrained "cute triggers" for people, and that's why it's captivating so many (the big eyes, small mouth, ears, cheeks, the sounds, its size, how it moves, the naive innocence and vulnerability, etc.). Just a perfect storm of "awwwwwwwwwww" factors. They couldn't have done a better job on that front.

Because, in theory, a Yoda baby should be horrifying and one of the ugliest things ever. But somehow they found a way to make it the complete opposite.
