Changing Liet Kynes from a white man to a black woman has to change important aspects of the family of Paul Atreides.

Is “Chani” still the daughter of Liet Kynes? (Chani is Paul Atreides concubine and from whom Leto II is born).

Changing “race” is one thing for a character, but changing gender does more to change relationships.

Excellent point - there are plenty of women with huge roles in the Dune story, it's almost like the film makers didn't read the book.
