"Having female characters doesn't make a story interesting for women."
Of course not, but somebody should tell that to Disney. They are the ones who released a miniseries of 9 episodes featuring ONE male Jedi in the entire series. When I try to racionalize that decision the only reason I can come up with is that they are trying to attract women. Now, if you have a better theory, I'd be happy to hear it.
"Look at the first female characters that come to your mind when you think of Star Wars. Leia and Padme. Two extremely shallow characters whose arcs are always somewhere in between damsel in distress and trophy wife. They're both there just to serve as plot devices for the male heroes. "
And most males characters in stories written for women are there just to serve as a plot device for the heroine's story. That's just human nature. It is okay if you don't like it, but don't come here trying to imply that there is something wrong with it. There is not. Some companies might feel the need to try to change it (encouraged by the few of you who make it seem like your numbers are way bigger than they really are) but soon enough they bump into reality, and then we have articles like this.
