It was more that Hrothgar was the already planned race but since people had been so desperate for Viera especially with Fran showing up, they decided they should add it. Hence the choice between either the female viera, or female hrothgar according to that interview. At the race's conception, males weren't even on the table. Will they stay locked? Doubtful, but I don't see them being added till mid Shadowbringers, or even until 6.0.
