It takes so much work to make a race as is, and they don't want to put all that effort into something that won't be used. After the unpopularity of the one beast race I doubt they'd even be considering doing another one, because while some people say they want it, the playerbase's actions don't reflect that.
According to the last census done in April, there were more active Hrothgar players than there were female Elezen players, more than male Roe, and more than female Roe players if you take the genders for each race individually. But again, that was last April, and we haven't had a proper census from SE in a while. Lucky Bancho has one he added this month, but I haven't gotten a proper look at the numbers since nobody has actually seemingly posted the translated numbers for the racial gender split yet.
