I totally agree with you that AWAM needs more focus on the main story line. It's just that for me, besides Sophia also Dylan and Ellie are a part of the main story. They are the charakters of whom Sophia is the mother in AWAM. It makes sense to know their interconnections with characters who also have a relationship with Sophia. Dylan/Amber is a perfect example for that. Especially the symmetry between the two and the relationship between Sophia/Sam gives so much depth to the story that I'm surprised that this is even questioned.No-one is saying that the Dylan route is a side story. What I (and perhaps others) am saying is that content that doesn't have an effect on Sophia, like the Dylan/Amber path or the side jobs, can be easily dropped. Particularly since we're looking at 30+ years until the game is finished. Then perhaps the idea could be revisited, like the Coach Sophia storyline.
With the rectangle between Dylan/Amber/Sophia/Sam I hope that L&P will push the story forward a lot more, but even the past has had events in which the view from Dylan's perspective was crucial for the story.

This event was only possible because Sophia didn't know what was going on, but the player got an insight through Dylan perspective. It's part of the main story because it's actually about Sophia and her role as a mother in relation to Amber/Dylan and the connection to the Sophia/Sam events. If you leave something out, the story loses depth.
BTW, I really think that Amber will eventually come to know about Sam's continuing education by Sophia. Also in disciplines other than swimming.
