I think they did this just to benefit from how enormously popular George Takei is on social media.
I also think it is kind of homophobic to retroactively claim that a straight character played by a gay man who was a perfectly good actor must be gay.
Also, the last Star Trek movie was so unbelievably bad that there is no way I'd personally watch this one. They spent the whole movie setting up that what they were doing was not canon. And then that was it. No plot. No story. No nothing, except them saying that what they were doing wasn't the original. I thought Pines and Quinto did the best that could be done with the terrible material, but it was still terrible.
