Because the fanbase of SS is mostly old BA players that only know the funny sob meme and use it for everything (including hag characters)
Because the fanbase of SS really wants the blue archive fanbase so they keep desperately associating the game to BA and trying to leech off BA in hopes that even a bit of their artists and popularity trickles down to them
Because yostar is actually and unironically paying people to shill the game and leave out the fact it's an ad so they attempt to sell the game as a cute and funny game. Doesn't matter if they drop it after since the marketing managed to get it to install the game so they won.
One of the guys they reached out to was disgusted by it and leaked the emails so it's just one more of the dramas that game has.
Also because a lot of loli fans these days are just beaten wives that latch onto games with virtually no loli characters and fiercely defend their scraps. See games like Genshin, Honkai, ZZZ or Wuwa. They could just find games that actually appeal or pander to them but instead they stick to shit that doesn't pander to them for years and years while coping with their filler units and telling themselves it's fine.
