It's really bad logic, I think. All of the examples they brought up were either trashed as poorly written (Itachi and Obitio being pardoned even though they don't really deserve it), or had a lot more significance/depth (Neji's struggle with the branches of the clan) than Sakura's shallow love for Sasuke.
There's no way this whole thing isn't just a way to milk Hinata's (and her voice actress') popularity for all the money it can. Good marketing move, I guess.
