Ultimately they’re marketing techniques. Give a popular mon a new form and people use and talk about it because of popularity.
Give an unpopular mon a new form and people talk about that mon finally getting some love. Potentially revitalizing interest and getting more fans.
Really just using this line of thinking you can deduce why any specific Pokémon gets a form.
Mega and regional variants are definitely not considered separate for the marketing team in terms of who needs what. Regionals never fully replace any original and are often shown together and ultimately make the popular more popular or the unpopular more popular.
