They have other limits here and there and in those cases it is common to take the "least common denominator"-path.

I guess, they will lift many limits with 7.x.

I would be more willing to believe this if the game didn't already run perfectly fine for those who have broken the rules/tos and modified their client so that Hrothgar can use other hairstyles. Additionally Viera ears use way more resources.
Square doesn't need your help to make up scenarios to defend its decisions; they're perfectly capable of doing that themselves but choose not to.
