On the subject of the female Zio rumor, I have a question. Kamen Rider, above all else, is a toy commercial not a tv show. It does not exist to challenge social ideals or anything of the like, it exists to pump out highly marketable heroes every year to sell toys and other merchandise to a primarily male market of both children and, to a lesser extent, adults. The question is, are there any financial benifits for Toei and Bandai to make Zio female rather then male.

Same answer to the question if there financial losses. Meaning probably not. Though it's assumed that's the reason a secondary got in the promotional material (Granted Cross-Z was in Build's poster too and made for a bitching phone wallpaper) to appease to the little boy audience
