Does anybody else think that Natalie just should have been Riri's GF?

Just for argument's sake like I know how the internet will just explode but I just personally fully think that Natalie's brother was unneccessary and took up a lot of screentime, and we should have spent MORE time with actual Natalie to contrast against Natalie AI and also more screentime for Gary. It also makes it make sense why Riri would ask for her back and not Gary.
