It's Nintendo so I guess I shouldn't be super surprised but, given the nature of the Octolings and Inklings, I wish that they had not defaulted to this kind of gender binary.
They're squids, just have one squid on screen and allow people to dress up the way they want. Ugh, it's 2018, we can do better.
Absolutely. However, it is worth noting that Nintendo heavily prioritized having recognizable designs over personalized input. Notably, this is why the only customization options there are (apart from gender performance) are skin and eye color (which don't affect the silhouette at all) and "hairstyle" (which may or may not be covered by headgear anyway).

But I guess, Nintendo, marketing, kids, reasons.
