I suppose news of the 'it surprises nobody' variety, didn't find it shared here yet.
I always found the sudden focus on Lara's dad weird and uncharacteristic, especially considering that a big part of Tomb Raider 2013's arc was about Lara getting OUT of her father's shadow to forge her own path. And then suddenly it became really dad-focused in the sequels, no wonder it was a request from above.
Sigh, this is why we can't have nice things.
