MMORPG designers have this dumb notion that beast races need to have uncivilized-like animations like WoW Taurien or something. If Hrothgar are based on Ronso, the decision is even dumber. Ronso don't have problems standing or walking straight. It's not particularly sensible even considering Hrothgar their own thing either, since nothing about their lore suggest they're any more uncivilized than a Roegadyn.
I think the reason hrothgar are like that is because the developers were attempting to make a race that is more familiar to players of WoW who played such races and wanted an analog in FFXIV. It doesn't really have anything to do with lore and has much more to do with the fact that ARR was built from the beginning to take parts of other successful MMORPGs and staple them in and the dev team has continued to do so since.
