    You double the audience who can consume it, therefore, you increase the revenue, especially over time. Furthermore, by making it accessible to everyone, you refrain from antagonizing people who would've loved to buy it for more than the one character, but cannot for their main and therefore are put off the costume as a whole. We have on the first page of this very sub forum quite a hefty amount of users who would've doubled down on glamours like this if SE had made it available for them.
    But as implied by my last post, this entire circus is driven by a gross double standard and not a small bit of misogyny. "But Billy, they're giving women more outfits, how is that hating on them?!" because apparently dressing in outfits that are perceived as feminine (fun fact, clothes have no genders, they're piles of fabrics) is beneath male characters or SE would've gone ahead with it by now. The debate about how uncomfortable it makes the developers is all the more proof that is what this is about.

    A set called "Best Man's" is available to female characters yet the same can't be said for male charas and the bridesmaid's set. I have no better example to show the core issue at play here than that. It is not "oh I want that outfit but I can't", it's a systematic approach on the part of the design team.
