In a new character we would not have given importance, but when the writers throw away years of development that is frustrating for the viewer, a frustration that was redirected to the character of Iris.
It is enough to see her interaction in PM, even though they both teasing each other and fight like siblings, but even so, you can perceive the mutual respect and esteem, this shows that Iris's character is well built, the one that did not work was Ash in that facet of BW.
