I was thinking about this today, and I think you are onto something. Every other LI has a major characteristic, whereas Annie's is absent or at least a little lacklustre.I think Annie doesn't get very much love because her personality is kinda one note. Like, there's nothing wrong at all with being cute and little and innocent and silly and seemingly weak. It can be very charming! But throughout the game, that's the majority of the view we get of her from Caribdis. We aren't given other interesting winkles, for example maybe she struggles with some addiction, or maybe she experienced some sudden loss that makes her very risk averse, or maybe she learned that love was conditional based on some certain criteria. Elements like these would give her some more depth.
As some previous posters noted, she does many critical things to keep the plot going. So she is absolutely important, she's just a little dull compared to many other characters.
Alex comes from money and has her issues with her family (also tattoos), Nova is the ginger hacker with Dione, Luna is Mexican with a nice family and special seer powers, Penny is the blonde bombshell who loves to tease and is Instagram famous, Dalia is the gym rat with a nice ass, Nancy is the MILF, and Annie is...
Cute? Well, they are cute in some way. Innocent? So are Luna, Nova, and Dalia. A childhood friend? So are Dalia and Penny. She doesn't really have a powerful, unique X-Factor. It doesn't have a be a negative thing like addiction, but something that gives her a little USP that doesn't fill the same role as the others.
Don't get me wrong, I love Annie and wouldn't change her, but I can see why she might be a little unexciting to others.
