All of which would be reflected in their attribute profile. It adds nothing. 

It is reflected in the player's attribute profile according to the weight of the player.

Ok, how many women play video games compared to men?  How many play an in-depth sim that's essentially just looking through spreadsheets?  Look at the usernames here.  While they don't tell all, how many appear feminine?  Most forums with a large female base have numerous posters that are clearly feminine (even if a few are dudes).

A good example of this would be The Sims community. More female based (few dudes).

Surely not   Knowing a players height is a vital part of the  game

..and weight is not? Just as height is a vital part of the game weight is too. Weight affects jumping reach, the player's ability to sprint hence pace, acceleration etc. It also affects stamina, how long a player can withstand playing before he gets tired or fatigued. These are all based on real issues in a football match and this is supposed to be a realistic game. I don't think a player whose 100kgs can perform the same as a player whose lets say 85kgs.

What core features have been removed?

The recent removal of football management, touchline shouts, social media and the data chalkboard. Need I say more? What about the new UI its disgusting to say the least.

Actually they have colossal amounts of data on how single players play the game as FM / Steam (however it works) sends this kind of data back to SI.
There is an opt-out / in (can't recall which way around) so if you made that change, its true for you - but factually incorrect to imply that they don't have this data - they very much do.

I always leave it on - if it helps SI all good.

I know about the opt-in/out option and I didn't imply that they don't have the data. They don't have the actual data. They're basing off of players' who have that option selected.

[FM 25 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE]

Based on what I read in the latest blog, along with the June update, I've decided that this will be the first edition of the game that I won't be purchasing since FM 2005. You've completely ruined the game by removing core features that made FM what it is today, especially the recent removal of international management. Instead of enhancing the game to make it more realistic, you've taken away what made it special. I primarily play in single-player mode, and you have no concrete data on how I engage with the game, so don't try to justify these decisions with misleading statistics.
