Candy was always meant to be a sexy monkey from the start and the design changes just made her creepy furry bait. It also kind of plays into the annoying "dudes can be weird and ugly but female characters have to be sexy" trope. Tiny isn't even a middle-ground because it's clear that they were going for a more sexy character.
Dixie avoids these by just being a regular cartoon monkey that isn't trying to give you a boner or something.
