probably from beginning they never planned for this game to have Artoria as main character,, she's already plenty famous so they're going to drop her entirely out of the game because she already have proper place to shine (Zero/SN/Hollow Atraxia) FGO have another Heroine which is Mashu, if Saber have another main role here then she pretty much hijacked the whole fate franchise... even the cameo in Extella are totally uncalled for since it's NOT her story.

it's not like the OG doesn't exist in the game she's already there on in 4 version,, only for some reason she didn't get her rider form and instead Alter didn't get her Archer form and ended up with 2 riders,, the balance crumble with Maid Alter.. before that OG x Alter are pretty balanced now we have 5 Alters 4 OG but that can't be said that alter dominate the Artoria's (Originally I hoped for Rider Saber from Zero, and Archer Alter with the gun for solid 5 v 5). but again asking her to become another main character.. uhh Lion King is enough I think, we already saw and know her plenty so dropping her entirely for main story in favour of different, still unknown character is a good move since using Saber over and over will eventually (if not already) feels stale

To be honest at this point probably Jeanne and Astolfo is the more popular to the male audience kinda like the face of Fate so introducing Arthur as "prince charming" type for female is fine. Who knows this might led to the revival of Prototype since it seems Arthur are hunting Beast 666, which is related to his former master. it'll be nice if Prototype are released as novel..
