Nobody inside the org cares about gender ratios, but they do have to react to people outside of the org who care a whole lot. It's easier to explain reality than to try and change it.

Any kind of real physical restrictions will initially be geofenced to grade seperated roads.

I think there are a surprising number of people who would use two x16 slots (not the latest generation bandwidth requirements, just the electrical connection to support older products at full speed), one for a GPU, one for something like a
