Savin seems to have a particularly fierce distaste for the sugar daddy trope. A very large chunk of his cast deals with their relationship with money in some way: Kara's drowning in debt to Chow and doesn't seem to fully grasp what that means, Saendra's chasing a desire she can't afford, and Reaha, the only one you can use your status to recruit, is quite literally bought. Anno and Syri both coming from wealth but making little to no use of it seems to fit his views on how Steele should handle their own.
I don't strictly disagree, given CoC was terrible about waifu Pokemon, but Savin is a bit more aggressive about it in his writings than I am.
