It's just cute, easy to cuddle, and in the colours of the trans flag
I think it also helps that it wasn't intentional. Nobody likes the obvious corp whoring for a quick cash grab.
I never noticed that its actually the flag colors! It's also available in every country with an Ikea, which is all of europe, north america, oceania and large parts of asia.
I certainly see the blue, but where's the pink exactly? The mouth maybe? Feels like a bit of a stretch
they also make a pink one i think!
