Yeah, it definitely does feel rushed or at the very least not well thought out from a players' perspective. They had to absolutely know this would be the result (along with huge demand for female Hrothgar and Male Viera). For some reason, they love repeatedly doing things they know will irritate the fanbase lol. They already went down this rabbit hole once before with Galka and Mithra (even going so far as to briefly add a "male" mithra npc in FFXI.)

Its not rocket science that this would be our reaction.
