Probably didn’t want to spend the money to retheme the area.

She is part of the Disney Princess collection so she has value just from that and sells merch, etc even if other individual movies and characters are more popular ... I think that fact gave her more leash than other

That doesn't make it right. It's thematically incoherent, which Disney used to care about.
While Tiana is of the wrong time frame, she's at least American, so that's passable but not perfect. Merida's supposed to be from Medieval Scotland, so she's in the wrong continent and time.

Same reason why Moana is out at AK when Raya would make more sense since it's more asian themed..
Yeah, I always viewed it as it's own thing, never as "part of Liberty Square." It's just a gazebo with a wild-ish garden. It looks like it could have been built any time from the early 1900's to today. Not at all 'colonial.'
Sorta like somehow Haunted Mansion or a Mississippi steam boat or the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon is part of Liberty Square.

I think it's fair if you want to delineate that area as no longer LS.
Liberty Square itself is set in a finite period of America's history. Similar to how GE at DHS is set in a specific moment. The other option is ditching the land conceit all together and just lumping it in with Frontierland. I don't love that.
Frontierland, Adventureland, Fantasyland, and Discovery Island at AK are more amalgam areas that have no set point. So they lend themselves to greater character flexibility.

Not saying its right but saying Disney has been doing this for at least the last six years or so, but likely longer than that as I seem to remember princesses popping up there during the New Fantasyland construction as well.
