So many PS4 games have female leads

I'm fine with that. Why do we have to keep them low profile? Doesn't really matter. I don't even really think about that when I play. Also, it's not like the female character ever has to "save her lover" like most male characters. Either she's saving the world or saving a child. I think this is done because devs know there are some dudes who just can't play a girl who's saving her boyfriend/husband. I think that's kind of silly. I mean, how come we accept sexy Androids and bikini-clad Knights but can't accept a girl main character who can be a real soldier in an actual military uniform.

Because actual military uniforms in games are boring and lacks character from a story standpoint.  But to address the spirit of your statement, there's Shepard from ME even though that was last gen.  There are also a plethora of female "respectable" dressed characters in both Dynasty and Samurai Warriors.  And then you have the Atelier series I mentioned earlier.  And didn't somene else mentioned Mirror edge?  They might not be in "uniform,"  but they aren't being "exploited" either.

EDIT: And let me also add that most male character a buffed beefcakes.  We accept that.

Many, but not most. Also, Dynasty Warriors has no main character. All characters are peppered in and are a part of the story as a whole. Ultimately, I'm happy to see that there are so many examples of women in games. The OP pointed to 7 but there may be as many as 70+. The more there are the less they will be points of remark. I've had no qualms playing as any sort of character, female or otherwise.
