So many PS4 games have female leads

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.

At least in the case of Empires and  Xtreme Legends, you have the option of picking a female chracter throughout your game.  Not a "main" as you said, but you are given equal option of choosing either male or female.
