They seem to have made a concerted effort to feature more playable female characters recently. Also to depict them as stronger and more capable. I even remember seeing a part before a movie at a theater advertising all the ways you could play as strong princesses on the Switch, I think this was around the time that Peach game was releasing. This is a bit strange although I don't think it is much of a problem because they don't make it overbearing and are still willing to do the classic Mario saved Peach story occasionally.
As for Donkey Kong, I could totally see them having requested the team to specifically feature a female secondary protagonist to sort of even it out. Now Donkey Kong has a more action ready form of Pauline that can be used for the more female purpose. It doesn't even stop here though, because her being a teen specifically may have something to do with this all too.
They'd of course decide on a human character because a female Kong or Dixie or something wouldn't really be too appealing. Pauline already would be a good choice as they've been wanting to use her more recently. However, it would only really work the good way it does if he hauled her around as her standing around and stuff wouldn't work with the game loops nor be as logical. If it is to be believed they want female characters to appear stronger however, having DK carry around a woman the whole game may not be the best option. So they made her a teen, old enough to still act adult in many ways to help lead the story, yet still young enough that it is considered more acceptable for her to be carried around.
Of course,more of her character flourished out from this point as they developed her. Her youthful spunk means it also fits in for her to be doing all the goofy jumps and Kong poses to which helps her feel even more protagonisty. Her being sort of like an idol singer also contrasts while with DKs brute strength. A sort of happy result of this all if it is to be believed
