Yes but only the reason people are choosing Rias are two reasons because she has a empty bishop slot or they simply don't want her in Issei's peerage. Face the fact based off the story, Dx5 hinting at it, her personality and feelings she wants to support and be with Issei. The scale is 75% Issei and 25% Rias and that is just being generous.
