No allied beast tribe quest in Shadowbringers?

I've seen barely any talk about this but looks like we got no allied beast tribe quests in Shadowbringers. I feel like most people haven't even noticed their absence, I sure just the other day realized that we didn't get them. Anyone else disappointed by this? Do you even care that they're gone? But hey, at least we got a whole bunch of pointless weekly quests for Nier, that was important.

Didn't we get the pixies as a beast tribe?

Yeah? Allied beast tribe quests are something we always used to get at the end of an expansion. They were unlocked after capping out all beast tribes in an expansion, the ARR one gave a mask and the HW and SB ones gave an emote.

We were told we would not get them in, I think it was a live letter.

the usual villain they use for the quest doesn't exist on the first and they couldn't think of a reason to have an allied beast tribe quest, plus ran out of time to make one. all factors in not getting one this time.

We have a 5.57 and a 5.58 patch coming afaik. Maybe its in there.

I must have missed that, felt to me like even the devs forgot they were a thing but good if they actually explained that they wouldn't be a thing this time around.
