Kinda are. Compare the new female mold usage to the original Ms. Marvel buck. Outside of the wrists, Carol Captain Marvel has more range of motion than Carol Ms. Marvel. Using X-23's arms would fit that same articulation trend that the newer molds use for women to give them better arm motion range. Outside of She-Hulk and Jane Foster Thor, bicep swivel is unlikely for figures of women. Elbow rotation is a middle ground that ups range of motion.

There are a lot of complaints about lack of articulation on this site, but if you really compare the original Ms. Marvel to the figures of now, even with reduced articulation we have larger range of motion from the figures of now for poses.

Dwight Stal is still the head of the Hasbro Marvel products department as far as I know. Though according to job listings someone else posted awhile back, they are looking to expand the product design team. IIRC, 4'' in particular was what the listing was for. Which suggests if they need a larger design team for products, they have a lot that needs to get designed coming up for later release. You expand a team when you need extra help because work load increases higher than normal, and if it's not a quick turnover position and hasbro is looking for longevity to who they hire, that means the work load is expected to stay at higher numbers for awhile.

Which bodes well for us 4'' collectors.
