Dawn Wells got paid for the reruns, right from the beginning. None of the other cast-members were, at least not for a long time.
So, Dawn Wells had a powerful financial incentive to keep her character and the show, in the public eye as much as possible. Neither Tina Louise, nor any of the other castaways had that angle.

Mary Ann was hot. Ginger... was not.
Evidence:
Tina Louise Blacker did not age gracefully at all; not necessarily her fault, just a fact. (BTW, Jayne Mansfield was who the producers of Gilligan's Island wanted for the role of Ginger...can you imagine?)
Meanwhile, Dawn wells aged very gracefully. Always cute right up to the end!

If you remove Dawn's makeup, she did not aged so well. She was abusing crack so much because it was hard to find a job being typed-cast.
R.I.P. to Eugene Joseph Wright (May 29, 1923 – December 30, 2020) who was an American jazz bassist who was a member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Aged 97--pretty darn good!
New Haven native Floyd Little, one of Connecticut’s all-time great athletes, died on Friday night in Las Vegas after a seven-month battle with a rare form of cancer. He was a three-time All-American at Syracuse University, and in 1967 was the sixth selection of the first common AFL-NFL draft. He was the first first-round draft pick to sign with the American Football League's Denver Broncos, where he was known as "The Franchise". Little was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1983 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010.

"Typed Cast", is this some new kind of Hindu hierarchy forehead mark?
Tina Louise's looks were hurt by bad plastic surgery decisions. I always preferred Mary Ann and considered her rivals to be Barbara Eden, Donna Douglas, Elizabeth Montgomery and Julie Newmar. Those were all hot babes in the mid 60's!

Gerry Marsden of Gerry and the Pacemakers dead at 78. I saw them in concert when they opened up for The Monkees in the 80s with Gary US Bonds and Hermin Hermits.
Democrats love people doing that, glorify people doing that, pay millions to support people doing that, demand everyone to be doing that 24/7 and 420 days a year, so what exactly is your point?
