They may have planned for that. The outfit is removable as well. Perhaps they'd like to do a throwback to the dress up dolls in future points in the line. Can't say it doesn't make sense to have these pieces be removable until we know if the dolls are going to be given other outfits in the future or not.

As many have said, for example, the revised version of SSB. Many are appalled by it, but even those who are can agree that it still looks cute. Far less can say that about the new RB. She's styled like a makeup advocate, not a superhero.
They do want to go after older girls. They also wanted to bring in a bit of guidance as well and encourage helping others in the process. Old school Rainbow would not work with an older audience of girls in this age. I'm not seeing it work with the preteen crowd. She needed to be older to do that, sadly. Perhaps not in the style she's currently in, but not looking like a 7-8 year old. The new Rainbow does not scream "makeup advocate". Perhaps magical girl, as has been stated with the transformation sequence works better.
