Really? In my opinion, we were only shown that she cannot change the past and prevent the rider war from happening. No restrictions on the delivery of the Fruit are mentioned. Again, maybe it's the subs' fault, but they claim that Woman of the Beginnings picks a winner, not rewards them. Plus, after Kouta?s victory, Mai says that she realized that he was right, but at the same time she could not refuse Kaito. But she doesn?t claim that the Fruit simply didn?t want to be given away. So if it was meant, it was so subtle that it broke. Of course, it is possible to explain and think through the situation, but specifically in this case, my thoughts are moving in a different direction.
