I've also noticed kind of a pattern for CTCSS tones for each band. Not every repeater follows the pattern but I'd say a good 80-90% of them do. Has anyone else noticed this?

No, I haven’t noticed.

While the choice of CTCSS tones is not entirely random, it may as well be. There are common conventions, like avoiding adjacent tones in a given overlapping area, avoiding tones that are harmonics of power lines, that sort of thing. I think in some cases it's more about "legacy conventional wisdom" than about "real world issues in 2025." But as far as repeaters following a pattern, what you might be seeing is either a freak coincidence, or regional conventions that may have some historical rationale. Not any broadly adopted pattern.
