My main problem is that Yoshi made the most half-assed excuse he possibly he could. He could have said something mildly plausible; budget, time-restraints, or even just they wanted to reach a new market. But out of any option he could have chosen he just went with a mumbled "it might ruin the lore" That's the worst possible excuse you could have made. The devs write the lore. The players break the lore on a daily basis. If they're going with that then they should only allow one player ever to be a WHM or a DRK and retroactively remove all male Miqo'te, female Roes and Duskwight Elezen. And while they're at it remove all Viera from The First because that breaks their lore too.
