Unfortunately, even in the west the fandom for those types of races are still very much in the minority. Look at other games: you don't see many people playing animalistic options unless they're: a) cute or b) got a humanoid aspect to it. That doesn't mean folks should stop petitioning for it: you should keep going. However you're walking up a higher hill than you think.

As for the cute thing: people want more cute options for the same reason people want bestial options - the current options don't fit. The Au Ra were an attempt at an elegant type of cuteness, but not everyone likes the sleepy-look they tend to have or that they're trapped into forced face/horn pairings. And Miqo'te are the energetic cute race, but not everyone wants to be a cat. And not everyone wants to be as tiny as a Lalafell and risk big changes to their game just for the sake of being cute. That's why people are hoping for at least one more traditionally cute race that can bridge the gap between au ra/miqo'te and Lalafell.

This next bit isn't against you personally, it's just my final point: you telling people who want a cute race they should be happy with what they've got is no different than folks saying you shouldn't get a bestial race because you have "fierce" races in Roes and Highlanders already. It makes no sense. We want more races because what's out now doesn't feel like "home" yet.
