There is still the BIG issue of Mako liking both Asami AND Korra, and that is not something that will go unresolved. Mako might be with Asami right now, but it was heavily implied in episode 5 that he was really torn about his feelings for Korra as well. The fact that he is even wrestling with his feelings like this is actually kind of a bad sign for Masami, naratively speaking, since Mako wouldn't even have this issue if Korra didn't stand a chance.

What this situation does do is insure that Masami either stands or falls on its own merits rather than just gets killed off out of convenience. If Korra wins Mako, far better that it be fair and square instead of just having him thrown into her waiting arms due to Asami suddenly changing sides and becoming evil. So Asami not being an equalist basically just levels the playing field as far as Makorra vs. Masami goes.
