Well, unlike the case with Hakunon, P3 FemMC doesn't even have a fraction of Makoto's popularity, so it's not like there really is any fan demand to use her in anything, when you can use the one most of your fanbase loves more.
Personally, I'd be furious if they replaced Makoto in any Persona material. FemMC is more than welcome to be the alt protagonist in anything they do, but if they were to just have one, it shouldn't be anything other than him.

I just thought it'd be nice to have a female lead in a TM work but it seems what I truly subconsciously wanted was her and Nero to scissor on TV

TIL
Maybe, just maybe, the popularity of the FeMC in both Fatestuff and P3 might have something to do with the creators barely promoting and putting out material acknowledging them, leading to your average goldfish memory span consumer to forget they existed in the first place. In which case TM is even slightly better than Atlus.
i find it easier to identify with male characters so i want hakuno
They marketed her enough when P3P came out, but she didn't exactly explode in popularity to justify her presence in future installments.
Marketing doesn't suddenly make characters more likable for a fanbase.
Just like Hakunon, she had her chance for the public attention. If a lot of people wanted her, they'd ask for her.
Companies don't hate money. If a character proved to have the potential to be highly popular, they'd overuse and market the hell out of them.
As much as i like her, P3 FemMC isn't that. Hakunon is that, and it made itself pretty clear, so they used her exclusively in Capsule Servant and, against all odds keeping in mind Fate's main demographic, got a role in the anime adaptation.

Okay then, it's just us weebs beeing a shit ass butt audience.
In a general sense, I don't disagree with that sentiment.
I mean, both Hakuno and Hakunon are vapid self-inserts, and unlike the FGO case they're both kinda cute, so it's whatever ultimately.
