To be fair, asking a team that was clearly not equipped to create and maintain a beast race of sufficient quality was indeed the wrong thing to do. I cannot ask a McDonald's line cook to suddenly start making gourmet sushi and expect good results. There was a massive failure in reading the room and understanding what the majority of the playerbase wanted to see in future race additions - something wasn't as limited as on-release Viera and Hrothgar.

I suspect that given WoW's trend at the time of releasing one allied race after the other with quite limited customization gave the impression that FFXIV could get away with doing the same thing. Anyone who has spent a significant amount of time mingling with the playerbase and looking at people in game can see why that isn't the case. FFXIV players highly value customization of their characters down to the last detail and chasing after new customization rewards because unlike most mmorpgs, they only play that one character or at most have 1-2 alts instead of 10 like in WoW or Lost Ark.

Instead of fighting with players who for various reasons do not like Hrothgar or take issue with the manner in which they were implemented, focus instead on keeping the conversation focused on getting the updates this race needs because the fact that we are in the year 2022 and we are still having this discussion regarding their limited state is unacceptable.
