It could be due to a lack of understanding of proper ways to explore gender - related themes. The author might think that by simply making a boy dress as a girl, they are creating an interesting plot point. However, they fail to consider the implications on the character's autonomy and the message it sends to the readers. It could also be a result of following a tired and offensive trope that has been used in the past without proper re - evaluation.
One possible reason could be for comical effect, but this is a rather inappropriate one. Some might think it's funny to see a boy in girl's clothes, but it often comes at the expense of the character's dignity.
Maybe the author wants to make a statement about gender fluidity, but goes about it in the wrong way. Instead of showing it as a natural choice, they force the situation. Another reason could be a misinterpreted attempt at subverting traditional gender roles, but by forcing it, it becomes a negative example rather than a positive exploration.
