Also you’re assuming it’s only half a dozen people that are interested in this. Funny i’d think considering you’re a viera yourself you’d understand but i guess not. They don’t just bend the lore “a bit.” See 1.0 to 2.0 Male Miqote and Femroe lore bending. Again, you don’t seem to understand though. When it comes to the story, we’re the only one really there. Not the hundreds of other adventurers of different races or whatever, so it isn’t a huge lore bend to think we’re one of the very few garleans able to use magic(which we know is possible) or allowed to be in the city states. Literally please, stop using lore excuses when Yoshi P himself said back in ShB, they only use lore excuses for the mean time but a lot of it is done in poor taste and he acknowledges that after the Male Viera debacle.
When it comes to the story, you're the only Warrior of Light. You're not the only adventurer, either in the story itself or in the setting in general. The other players exist in the setting, and the setting is the foundation that the story is built on.

I have no intention of ignoring the lore, the world and the story are important, however I will add a non-lore reason. They're boring and bring nothing new or exciting to the list of options, adding them as a playable race would be waste of time and resources.
