Reason for Lack of Miqo'te in MSQ?

[Nestmile]

I'm reading through the lore book, and it actually says nothing about them being rare.

Here's a quote from the lore forums thread on Miqo'te naming conventions:

Though there are ten suffixes listed above, rarely do even the largest Keeper of the Moon families have more than two or three sons. This is not by choice. Nature merely sees to it that more females are born to this race.

It also states that for Seekers of the Sun, a Nunh-to-female ratio of about 1:10 or 1:50 is average. Even if we account for the fact that a few Tia are also about, there are clearly far more female Miqo'te.
