As Incident says, of any of the other acts on the roster to move up to fill a gap in the headliners she was the obvious choice. She was also headlining BST and Primavera, so its not like the G were the only festival who thought she was in the headlining pool. And that's before you look at her numbers and general cachet. We're there optics involved? Maybe. But they weren't the only factor. That it didn't work out is a shame, but I think the chess move had a sound basis -
No, of course it doesn't. It suggests they were scrambling and wanted someone who was available - and given they reportedly had about a week to find someone, they chose the biggest available bump up and I doubt they even had time to worry about how people might judge it against an offhand comment on a podcast months previously. Maybe if they had more time to look for a replacement the result would have been different - Who knows? None of us here can really say with any confidence. Because in 2023 they didn't lose a headliner about a week before the announcement, and so had no need to bump someone up at the last minute?

I would kill to be there! Fingers crossed for us all.

Well, with LDR, probably because she's a bit of a headcase. But the answer might simply be that GNR were available, and by ticket-shifting and cross-generational metrics, there won't have been many bigger pulls, irrespective of their live capabilities. -

But there wasn't any question posed that year, you can comparatively argue. (Devil's advocate here.) Whereas EE, while likely posed with the question rather than going out of her way to suggest, did pretty much infer Lizzo was on the top-line because "she could totally headline". We could do with a full transcript of these chats sometimes.
