But there are a looooot of things in the game that don’t make sense, even msq wise. There’s plot holes and plot armor everywhere. Again, it’s to be expected. The lore can be bent whenever.
Viera males aren't seen due to their societies rules, it's not like it's physically impossible to see them. The rules can change and/or more Viera can decide to break them.
Also, as much as I do like my Viera, as a race they're not important to the story.

Garleans can't really use magic because of their biology, it's not something that can be waved away with some excuse like "they changed their minds lol."
Garlemald is also, unlike the Viera clans, pretty important and functions as one of the stories two main factions of antagonists.
