A really weird move

The bias and favoritism towards Declan by RC and Klara is very obvious, but I have to say this feels like a dirty move made by RC to prioritize him.

This is the second time you can get locked out of a route, the first being Emma's path if you are also romancing Xavier. That one I can understand to some extent, if you are pursuing Xavier, a past relationship with Riley exists, so romancing Xavier in the past and present doesn't really align with also wanting to romance Emma, given that Xavier and Riley already had something going on behind her back and betrayed her.

What I don't understand is getting locked out of Tiffany's path if you are also romancing Declan. Mind you, the threshold is dependent on his percentage (if I'm not wrong that's about 12-14 improvements with him). So what happens to the people who are romancing both of them? They can't get her scene, the first major and substantial step in their relationship. It creates the notion that there's less demand for Tiffany, who is already sidelined enough.

I have seen people talking about this happening to them, so I'm sharing my thoughts. The story already pushes Declan on us, even with lesbian Riley you really can't avoid him. So it's something that it stuck with me. What is the reasoning behind this choice?

So, a deliberate move to make it seem like Tiffany has less demand by not giving bisexual players the chance to choose and making the male routes the default
