Yes, I agree -- I feel like they decided that Bix was now "the girl" and couldn't think of anything else to do with her. It feels very lazy and sexist. As you say, there are a lot of things Bix could be doing in the Rebellion. She could even have decided that she's been through enough and wants nothing else to do with it, which I feel would be a valid choice in her case!
That said, it appears that the set designer has never been in a jungle, or even maybe a real forest: where were the screens on that bungalo in the woods?
Aha! I had not considered that, but I believe that my personal crack theory about biology in the GFFA will come to the rescue here. So you know how in general there are fewer female-appearing humans than male-appearing humans in SW? This is because (according to me) in that galaxy humans aren't mammals -- they're insects! So there are relatively few females compared to males or neuters, and they usually reproduce via eggs. This also explains what happened to Padme (unexpected twins and dying in childbirth), because physical obstetrics is a really, really niche specialty there.
So anyway, obviously they don't need to worry about screens because all the smaller insects are keeping their distance from the giant insects that have taken over that part of the planet.
