None of the external stuff is going to change the way Jeff writes his show. You don't keep a character around due to pressure from a handful of victim-minded activists.

As to your point about the relative strength of the pair - that is also determined by the writing.

Gage was knocked out of the way in a lot of the scenes in Season 2 - not because she was weak but because the scene was focusing on other things and it was a convenient way to get rid of her.

Example - she had to be out for the count during the entire pool scene or the big Scott/Kanima confrontation couldn't take place.

It's weak plotting but it worked.
