Rem's role was only just as major, as Ram, Betty and Roswaal in Arc 2. In fact other that Emilia, Subaru argubly spent more time with Betty, and Ram (thus greater screentime). That only really to began to change near the climax. Furhermore Subaru and Emilia had interacted with eachother a lot more beyond just lap pillow. He talk about his goals and moviation with her, parts of Emilia's past, stuff regarding spirits, the whole stuff insigina etc all which are very important. In fact I'm sure I'm not why some people think Rem had more screentime here considering she was very cold to him in beginning and she only had fewer scenes. I've re-read the arc in the manga multiple times and watch anime, so I definitely know what I'm talking about here. At best her time very balanced here with respect to the other characters.

Also the only thing Rem got over Emilia in the begining was that she got her and Ram's backstory told earlier which is pretty much irrelvant since so did Wilhelm and he's still less important character than Emilia and Rem are.

Again if weren't for fact she was only character from manor around Subaru towards the middle of Arc 3 people wouldn't have forgotten this. In grand scheme of things her role is still secondary compared to Subaru and Emilia who many things tying together and overarching plot which why she can't be a MC in either adpatation honestly.

I like Rem a lot but the MC upgrade on MAL is what some fans assigned to here, not the author. Eitherway in the end this doesn't really matter.
