Monty also said in a livestream that he created Neo because he felt Roman needed a... I forget the exact word he used, but basically a minion to help him. Neo's Semblance came about because he didn't feel like animating Neo and Roman running away.

Neo continuing to be in the show is fans' influence, but she has been continuing to play the role of helper, which keeps her in a minor position that could have been filled by someone else.

It's just like with Monty adding the Maidens last-minute. Miles and Kerry are doing their best to keep Neo and the Maidens implemented without changing the major plot at large.
