the funny is addressing Lycoris Recoil and G-Witch as both yuri while they aren't really that even the staff that worked on it didn't had the intention of it to be that
director adachi stated that he just wanted it to be your typical serious action anime and thought it as "an anime that makes you feel dark after watching it is not really wanted nowadays" https://febri.jp/topics/lycoris_recoil_int1_1/ while the producer of g-witch had said " From there, the staff discussed the idea of setting Gundam: The Witch From Mercury in a school. They hoped that the teen audience would be able to identify with characters who don't personally feel impacted by large-scale political events at first. |

Maybe I'm missing some context but I fail to see how those very general descriptions of the shows' overall tone/structure would preclude having a lesbian relationship between the leads. |

So, like 3 or 4 Yuri titles are streamed in the West, and we are supposed to believe this is some major trend among western anime fans?

None of this is about western fans? It's about yuri anime as a whole |

Yeah, the Gundam staff just... made like a billion references to Revolutionary Girl Utena and ended the first episode with a gay engagement, completely by accident. And this coincidentally helped to modernize a long-running franchise by following recent trends. How unintentionally serendipitous of them. I don't get why comments like this are so common. Part of it could be because of the numerous vague examples like Madoka, or fan shipping of genuinely-non-canon couples (which are same-gender more often than not), both of which may have created some reflexive dismissiveness. But going in the comments of an article about yuri anime to argue that the examples they're talking about aren't actually yuri (even the ones that could hardly be any less subtle) feels like a political statement of some sort. |
