I agree. There is a huge market for BL and female player r18 games that is and has been severely neglected for too long imo. As a result pretty much anything that hits all/most of those categories at once is going to sell. The majority currently available are geared towards hetero males.
Also, whenever I see a dev dangling a carrot of content people actually want in return for more funding it gives me a bad taste in my mouth. Especially when nine times out of ten either funding or dev promises never pan out the way either side hoped.
