They figured cute girls would go for a young pretty boy like Eliot more than an old man who really was only still involved until he got the cure for his granddaughter's illness. Having done that, his story was over and he's not a ninja like Kasumi who gets to stay even after her personal journey is done. Given how they had so many of the girls have flirty or teasing interactions with him, it was either the fetish of someone on the dev team or something KT wanted to pursue because it appealed to a focus group. Any DOA girl showing interest in any DOA guy who wasn't Ryu Hayabusa or Hayate is unusual.
