Why does Ichigo get avoided with certain outfit creators?

[Divided]

I've been noticing that some outfit creators on the JP side will avoid or just straight up not make Ichigo compatible outfits but make 10+ other bases compatible. (Including Milltina and Kumaly who have assets that are unique from most the usual bases and are similar-ish to Ichigo)
I can't be the only one that thinks this is odd no?

Is it something to do with not wanting to appeal to chubbier models? I don't understand much because they'll include Kumaly!
Even chibi style bases will get a compatible version which is such a drastic change, yet they avoid the simple pull and tug of the belly area for an easy Ichigo compatible version!

I guess it's a good thing we have EreMorph and other tools, but man... it'd be nice to have one compatible straight "out of the box". ^^;

@Divided This doesn't answer your question, but you can always search for compatible assets using Boothplorer.

@Divided I own a booth shop - From what I know of the community and through my own experiences, its a couple of things.

For a lot of Shop owners- what they make boils down to what seems profitable at the time, so If a base proves to be less popular, then its a risk to put in effort/time into making a product for them when its assumed it wont sell to a profitable quota. VS making something for manuka/milltina for example because so many people are seen actively using those bases in VRChat.

Another reason would be personal personal dislike of either the model or the model creator. I cant speak on personal drama if there is any, but reasons for why someone may not like her as a model could be because of her looks, proportion, functionality(For example, bad weight painting which would make it problematic for outfits), and any other number of reasons.

My personal thoughts would really be the first thing I wrote about- I do not see anyone using her in vrchat and that's not to say nobody wears her, its just a quantity thing. In these current days, I personally see more milltinas, rindos, airis, shinanos, and manukas more than any other base. So people would naturally cater more towards what the player base is using because it guarantees more sales.

I think its because she's more plus sized, like ACTUALLY plus sized. She's not appealing because of her tummy/chubbiness. People will tell you its because she's not popular, however there's avatars and avatar bases that are WAY less popular than Ichigo with way more assets made for them.

A lot of if not MOST of these avatars and assets are made by Asians, and in that part of the world, chubbiness/plus size/ anything over 120lbs is considered obese to their standards, which means a lot of asset makers don't find her attractive because of her body type. Sure there's a few exceptions, and we have as many assets for her now BECAUSE of those few exceptions.

But exceptions don't replace the norm that through out the entire world, NOT just Asian countries, skinny with big booba and no booba will always be the the preferred look over someone with Ichigo's body type
