There is a lot of truth in that. If Temari appeared more, she'd start getting haters. Ino fans already dislike her. I imagine Sakura and Hinata fans would also if she started having a bigger role. It helps her she is in the background. You have less chance to offend.
I think it's more that Temari is the least hated of the female characters. She's a cool character who can fight. ShikaTema is popular and doesn't cause wank like so many other pairings. Sakura and Hinata are both helped and hurt by their relationships with fans.
