I'm quite surprised that's the poll results. Based on people's general attitude in the thread, I would have guessed it would be more like:I don't think the developer hate Aoi in any way, in fact he was worried about the fact that he gave her so much attributes that it'll make her unlikeable but the feedback was pretty much positive and she was in 2nd place after Maika in the popularity poll
Maika 38%
Aoi 34%
Rin 28%
So I was actually wondering what's going on so I visited the artist's page (I don't think he and the developer are the same person but if he's not he is 100% working with him) and all the arts "if" stories were actually requested from the fans that's following him and I even found Aoi "if" story there, sadly... some sick motherpluger requested the story her being R@p£d by an older man
Here's the artist's page if anyone's interested

And here's the page where he receives requests ( currently unavailable, probably due to him having 2 requests at hand)

Aoi 50%
Maika 35%
Rin 15%
That said, I'm all for best girl Maika.
Edit: In hindsight, I wonder if it's because the general attitude of people in the east is that they don't like "masculine" women. I'm talking about tall, sporty, gruff, and not at all like a dainty housewife that tends to be the generic classic love interest. While Rin fits that archetype the closest, I also think that her general indifference to the MC probably hurt her popularity. I can't really explain Maika, but I found her getting easily pissed off and being desperate to prove herself endearing for some reasons, especially in the epilogue. I'm not usually into her type.
