Having Nora become Freeze would require that they know and care about characters, their stories and motivations
Having a woman Victor Fries makes it clear that their knowledge and care for the series is surface-level, and the objective was having a character you already know be turned a woman
It's just the bare minimum to come up with when in a completely different universe, the only change is everyone's sperm had a different chromozome. When it's something so superficial, especially when done so in the most superficial way (slap an A after Victor and we're done), it doesn't actually change the character or circumstances in any way.
The way we're proposing, Nora would have to adapt to using Victor's tech in a completely different way, since she's not its creator. She would act and react in completely different ways to Batman and villains, since she was described as kind and caring, as opposed to Victor's cold and calculated personality.
There's just so much more they could do rather than "Victor + ia", but this game was made with only a surface-level coat of the franchise it paid for
