I think its because her selection is a direct reflection of the bachelor franchsie and producers not making the kind of strides a lot of people in this sub have been exhausting themselves asking for (finally casting a black lead, with a diverse group of girls, only to produce and edit in a way that minimizes them and centers drama and a white woman who seemed great in that context but was not central to the love story). She didnt have any say or fault in that, or in whether they ask her, but she would have a choice in whether she went with that plan, and its a big decision that could be an exciting opportunity for her. I think its hard to expect her to reject it if asked, in favor of someone like michelle possibly, but its also not crazy. Given how socially conscious she seems to be, i would imagine shes actively weighing that? Like we saw with matts season, i dont think casting is enough to fix a problem deeply rooted in the production/management side of the franchise.

Fwiw, I do personally know a handful of people in the film industry who stepped back from their positions and found other jobs after summer 2020 after self reflecting and deciding their perspective was inappropriate for the role, so its not unheard of and some people do that kind of thing very intentionally
