Sure, the devs can do whatever they want. Doesn't change the fact that what they choose to do might be bad or illogical. Looking at M Viera for instance, how is it possible that in two separate dimensions we can't see any, despite the fact that one dimension is on the brink of annihilation and that led most other races and beast tribes to join hands? Where did all the F Hroths go? How is it believable that we have to accept weird motivations as to why those genders are nowhere to be seen in two different "worlds" with different social structures? The only logical explanation is "the devs didn't have the time/resources to add them at the time". The only way a one-gender race can be accepted is if it's androgynous in biological terms, and I would be completely fine with that to be honest. Anything else is bad design/development choice with a sprinkle of resource limitation and a splash of pandering to a particular target.

After all, every time they add a new race/job the lore gets crushed a little bit. Yugiri hiding her body didn't make any sense after Au Ras where added. The existence of many people playing the same job doesn't make sense as well since in many cases said jobs are unique or extremely rare if we consider their lore. So at the end of the day, lore isn't really an explanation to design limitation, especially in a game where we're the one exception, the chosen one blah blah blah.
