So which is it more profitable for Square to do? Create a beastman playable race that only 5% of the playerbase will go near? Or create Bunny Girl Waifus and their Pretty Boi Husbandos?

Right, but what is the point of making another iteration of what we already have? It's a waste of time and money.

People would play it, but it would be the same people playing their cat/dragongirl waifu right now.

Honestly, that's a good question, and I doubt there is a good answer other than adding another iteration that is diverse from the current selection. Au Ra, for example, became highly popular with the female option, but not the male. At the moment there really isn't a male counterpart to Au Ra female in terms of height and build and aesthetic.

Ironically enough by adding more of what we already have they would actually accomplish making the game more diverse... as far a played races go.

If you think of it like this, and I'm going to be pulling numbers outta thin air here, that the percentage of hyur and miqo together pre HW made up something like 60% of the playerbase making them both roughly 30% apiece. Then, by adding Au'ra (who are largely similar to those 2) the population while maintaining that 60% is now something like 20% Hyur, 20% Miqo, 20% Au'ra.

In this way you have added diversity among the playerbase, even if the diversity you added isn't all that unique in and of itself.

That's an interesting perspective on it.
