Your thoughts were basically the same ones I had when the whole argument went down. Gay/bi men being underrepresented when it comes to visual novels targeting them apoarently don't matter to this person though.
And while I think Mangagamer did admit that one of the reasons that they decided to pick up NTY was because it could have a slightly broader appeal, it really wasn't the only reason. Good Haro is a huge fan and it did indeed get requests from BL fans too so it wasn't that they went and said they were only getting it because of that.
I think it having appeal to a different crowd beyond its target audience was a bit of a bonus.
