Both of them barely qualify as “characters” so who cares?

Well i heard Amazon couldn’t acquire several popular characters so that’s why they kept Rae alive to have her return and replace on of said characters so who knows maybe she’s develop more a personality.

Why wouldn't they have the rights to certain characters? It's not like there independent books, there all the same property.

Image Comics is a creator-owned company, which means that all the writers and artists retain their media rights.

From Image Comics own FAQ

I believe some characters where not made by Robert Kirkman so now they can't use those characters. They also changed from Science Dog to Seance Dog.

Tek Jacket is another one which I’m not sure how that’ll work cuz didn’t he play like a decent role in the comic book?

He does have a decent role, but it’s nothing that isn’t easily replaced or overwritten.

Idk but from a marketing perspective it makes sense to race/gender swap characters to appeal to a wider audience.

Yeah and for story reasons if they want to do something else with the character
