Well, they don't have to completelly reform the character - and even if Applejack wouldn't be a famer girl, it isn't **all** of her personality/characterisation. (She's stubborn, loyal, sincere - if in past, and thanks to Discird had problems with lying - etc).
Also, 'bout similarities to Sunset, one can headcanon the G5 Applejack, is the daughter of Sunset and Applejack XD
(Anotd to mention, the G5 Applejack still reminds of a farm girl, just not a cowgirl, or at at least overtly a cowgirl)
About Applejack not selling well - this is the case in US (and at least some other countires), but for example in Japan, Applejack is one of the most popular characters, aguably the most popular of the Mane Six in Japan. So it can also affect overall sales, seeing how much a large market Japan is, how Hasbro is tied to it (ie Transformers).
Not to mention, we **don't** know yet if the G5 leaks are true. I mean, there is now so much false leaks, and news these days - for now we must wait.
