Sunrise has always made missteps in trying to make Gundam that appeals to Girls. They go for a Bishonen Gundam when it's clear that the largest mass market for female appealing content is Mahou Shoujo as it pulls a male demographic too.

In courting the teenage girl market they end up making series like Wing, Seed, IBO that only appeal to edgy immature teens, an idiotic demographic which enables the worst expressions of fandom.

This both would have satisfied the ongoing cry for a Female Protagonist of a Gundam series and gotten girls into the series as a whole in larger numbers. Instead we got fujobait.
