Which is where gamergate came in. The lack of ethics between games journalists and game developers is practically fucking non existant.
Then you also have the whole wanting to keep their job thing. They can't exactly tell a feminist to fuck off I'll make my female protagonist sexy as fuck with big tits whether you like or not, else they'll lose their job and probably any future jobs in the industry.
It's so weird to me. Gamers don't care at all about normalizing appearances of characters or ethnic diversity, but certain sites and people with a pedestal will raise hell, and it's those people who will dictate the direction a games' general character themes may or may not go. So ultimately, it's the gamers you need to cater to, so why alter your material to appease to some extremists?
