It looks like Bilquis and her victim got updated in a similar but more subtle way than Technical Boy. In the book she's a sex worker, he's a john and he's kind of an rear end in a top hat, not a middle-aged divorcee getting back into the dating scene. The idea of a predatory woman going on Tinder and targeting a poor lonely dude who just wants to be loved is reminiscent of the things Red Pill types believe in. And most stories about gods have some element of "the belief shapes the god" so even though her origin is a millenia-old half-demon, she could have been changed somewhat by it.

Thinking about a kitten's comment about Bast and cat videos, plus Bilquis using online dating, it does look like they're going for a theme of old gods using new technology, maybe setting up a conflict of interest in the war. In theory Anansi could be another example given cell cameras and social media being utilized civil rights activists. They're not pulling any punches when it comes to racism in America so it wouldn't surprise me if they address this in-story.
