I mean, Tatooine comes up more than other planets in the movies, but it’s not actually all that strange.
Tatooine is where Luke grew up, in the farm of his uncle and aunt. Which immediately ties his father to that place in some fashion. Or you would have to explain why Owen and Beru chose to move there, which seems much more difficult.
Han Solo is there trying to work things out with Jabba, which doesn’t go well at all, but does explain why we go back to Tatooine for a third time in RotJ: that’s just where Jabba lives.
The entire character of Jabba exists only because he is the crime lord that lives on Tatooine. If Jabba had lived somewhere else, his role in the movies would simply have been filled by some other crime lord that lives on Tatooine. Maybe another Hutt. Maybe Black Sun or the Syndicate.

Fair enough, but not necessarily. I doubt there’s one single Hutt for each individual planet/system, they have families (per the Clone Wars, etc.) and they are modeled after the Mafia and their families, which cover whole regions of an area, and not a single point of an area.
But, no need to digress into a nerd fight over it. :)

One hell of a coincidence.
He’s literally the Hutt lord of Tatooine (and nothing else). Where would you expect him to live?
The Hutts have other planets, and their power base is many systems, and not just one single system.
