Back when the CoP starting going after unerrotation with a vengeance I (and a few others) pointed out that the idea that young women could actually do the number of triples they'd been getting credit for was kind of a myth. If you want to see lots of ladies doing lots of "triples" then you're going to have to put up with a lot of underrotation. I seem to recall that this message was not very well received but it still seems fairly accurate. A young woman with the physique to do 3 axels and/or a quad or two would be massacred in PCS because she wouldn't fit the stereotype (and young girls with that kind of athleticism are unlikely to want to try figure skating anyway).
I totally don't get the appeal of quads, especially all the stick figure young men with almost no skating skills stumbling around between them. A handful of men have made quads look like anything but a massive time and choreography suck.
