Removing gender locking for a piece of gear would not require "twice as much work". Most of the development time goes into designing and creating the base model, usually done with a male hyur as base and then it is copied over to the other race/sex combinations with minor changes...

Except for all the times they decide to make twice as many unique models because they are obsessed with gender locking...

They way they are doing things now takes significantly more time than to not gender lock things.
