From a non-religious perspective, medieval India and much of the world was built on the accomplishments of men. Every facet of life was tailored to the male identity. With the incredible hard work that had to be undertaken by our Gurus to establish the Sikh faith, I'm sad to say the social climate at the time would've been incredibly hostile to a woman not only from external Mughal and Hindu opposition, but also internal issues stemming from family, community, etc. I'm not saying a female incarnation of God would've failed, but even Waheguru understands how foolish humanity can behave at times. These are my thoughts on the subject.
It's a valid question. The true answer, as always, is "Only God knows."
