Because the overwhelming majority of aspiring esports stars never make any money, and women are less inclined to bet everything on a career where only the top 100 people in the world are going to make a living wage. It's the same risk aversion that is responsible for there being so few female Bitcoin millionaires.
I think describing women as financially risk averse is a stretch. There's a ton of risk in blowing all your money on stupid shit you don't need.
