I honestly don't know why anyone was invested enough to care. From day one, about the only bull dyke signifier she didn't have was the lingering cig stank, and that's only because the Playstation isn't capable of it. And it's not like the game itself was anywhere near good or interesting enough to overlook anyways.
I've been there and it's because they still cling to the nostalgia of the 90's expecting the big studios to 'see the light' and go back to making games that are supposed to be fun. Except what even people who know better don't realise is the people at these studios now have completely infiltrated and the OG went into early retirement so it's a bunch of SJWs stealing the brand name or the devs have gone off the deep end and only care about catering to leftists.
From a business perspective, it's easy to see why. Why spend time producing anything of quality that people might actually enjoy playing when you can just churn out generic crap using pre-made assets and minimal work and get showered with praised for it because you claimed the MC was non-binary? I completely fucking see the appeal but personally I'd be bored out of my mind working on shit like that.
