This right here should let everyone know that one voice does not represent all. SE acknowledges that they have a diverse playerbase and have to make judgment calls based on their own vision of the game and player demand. They like for these to line up as much as possible, obviously.
This part that you bolded is not something that the community missed or misunderstood. Not at all. In fact, it's the part closest to the heart of why the community is irritated.

So, Yoshi P is implying that he doesn't want healers to wear Paladin gear, because some players would think it looks silly. Yoshi's authorized additions to the Glamour system have not shown ANY indication that he actually cares whether players think each other's glamours look silly. This is a man who's cool with a player who wears a fat chocobo head with swimwear, and if you tell me that Yoshi P allowed this because he was sure everyone in the player community would think that it's fine, sensible equipment for adventuring, I'll flat out call you a liar. The hypocrisy in this quote makes it clear that he's deflecting, that he's digging in his heels. This is something HE wants - or that he feels would be too costly to fix. It's not what he honestly believes the community wants.

As you say, SE wants their vision to line up with the community as much as possible, and in my estimation, folks who want looser restrictions on glamor are not outnumbered by those who are fine with the status quo (excluding folks who don't care about glamour at all). There may be reasons why they can't/won't give this to us, but those reasons are not the ones Yoshi P is speaking of in these quotes.
