Liara did win a whole lot of extra fans in LotSB 
Maybe Bioware started out with Ashley as the canon LI but after ME2, they changed their mind
I'm just gonna make a wild guess here, but I think Mac Walters had a lot of influence on this one. We didn't really see Liara start to get really forced on us until around the time Drew left. Again that's just my speculation.
Oops, i said the word 
Well, lets play Bill Nye and consider the following:
Mass Effect 1:
Ashley is a Xenophobic woman who constantly speaks out of line to the other alien squadmates- Liara included
Liara is a bookworm of sorts initially intrigued by the beacon just as much as she is Shepard.
Mass Effect 2:
Ashley ****es and moans about you being with Cerberus despite the fact it isn't your choice
Liara recovers your body from the Shadow Broker so that you can be resurrected and become the new shadow broker
Mass Effect 3:
Ashley still ****ing about Cerberus and not trusting you and has some pretty atrocious dialogue, almost shoots you.
Liara makes a time capsule detailing Shepard in it forever, helps decode Crucible, remains by Shepard no matter what
But hey at least Ashley got good looking in Mass Effect 3 right? Who cares about personality?
