Gender ambiguity needs to exist because it's a huge part of Beatrice's motive and why she feels she can't be happy in love. It's the reason why Kanon and Shannon accept the roulette. Shannon even explains that in EP8 with her conversation with Kanon that you get for solving their puzzles.
Of course there can be other reasons for that, but that's the one given in the text. As I pointed out, it's not just Kanon, it's a bunch of other things. Ryukishi could have ignored it all together, but he also has Will bring it to our attention in EP7. It's something we're meant to think about and consider as part of Beatrice's character.
