A way to make the player symphatize with the new character would be making the game all about the new character and only revealing the villain to be Joel/Ellie in the end. Maybe without playing half the game as Ellie, some people would actually like the new character and be on their side. The way it's done, it's just to torture people who liked the first game. But I guess they wanted a trans character and knew this game would flop without Ellie and with such controversial character, so they decided to pretend the game is about Ellie and Joel and still get a pat in the back for being woke.
