I think you're close. And I think there's a little merit to the pregnancy idea, just not the extent we originally assumed.what if there is a certain "list" of certain criteria that need to be present in order for the girls to get on the roof, and this list is exclusive for every single girl (or their desires), and once these requirements are met, they get tested whether or not they can see the "roof"
I think Ayane being pregnant is what put her on the roof, not because it was what she wanted, but because it was a piece of Sensei. But that got reset, so that isn't a cause of her now seemingly permanent status as part of the rooftop squad.
However, she lost something so important to her that it was beyond the gods' power to make her forget. THAT is what made it permanent. That baby meant so much to her that losing it was like losing a piece of herself.
A character like Makoto, on the other hand, if she got pregnant, losing the baby in a reset wouldn't have the same impact. That probably wouldn't make her a permanent member of the squad, even though it might get her a one-off trip to the roof.
However, Makoto HAS lost something too big for the gods to block from her memory. Her father. That's a loss that carries across the resets that cannot be undone, and may well be the key to her permanently being on the roof now.
