Maybe it’s hindsight seeing Worf in her position for all those years, but between the two of them, one of them would go eventually. They essentially played the same character; rough, kick ass, etc… Except one came with a Klingon backstory and one came with a tragic rape-planet backstory.
I don’t think (other than fucking data), there’s a single plot that they could give to Yar that they couldn’t also believably give to Worf from an emotional story perspective. They’re essentially the same character.

I dunno, having Yar’s baby momma show up and drop off a kid would have been a challenge to write in the late 80s / early 90s.
That’s numberwang! (rape)
Never occurred to me that what TNG needed was a scene suggesting worf and data are getting it on.
Worf always said he needed someone less fragile than humans
