That's why I'mma chalk it down to "It's SE" because it's been proven time and again that "rare" people who were otherwise never seen before, can be just.. made by SE and well they're real and all over the place now. Like Highlander/Roegadyn females, Miqo'te males, female Miqo'te children(males still don't exist yet ), Hyurezans, and the entire Au Ra race that flooded into Eorzea within a patch with no explanation until Stormblood where they also created Au Ra children.

Soooo... I think it's safe to go along with "It's SE"
We haven't had any conclusive evidence either way. Is what you are saying that they exist but they just aren't shown? Possibly. We really don't have enough information to quantify either way. However I do believe Koji implied crossbreeds were pretty rare, and with the number of cross species relationships we see, it isn't too much to think that might mean that there is a biological cause.

In all truth everything we say here is speculation. Maybe someone can ask Koji at Pax West.

Honestly it sound from the lore book that the case with Pipin was that the adoption was half adoption, half apprentice.
