1 in 10 people paint their blaster as far as my nerf club. When you paint it has a chance of breaking it or messing up the trigger. Also it's seen as a boyish thing when it has no girl colors. So what you think that a girl will think, oh it's worth it to paint my blaster and buy the paint for it even though none of my friends will play it with me for maby forever and I will seem somewhat gayish (NOT SAYING YOU ARE). But when nerf says it's ok and shows confidence that girls will buy it then they could invite their friends to play it without having fear of attack. Also in my homeschool group every girl that plays takes a sword rather than a gun because swords have no reason to be any other color.
