Why do Mi’qote ears go through Snow’s hat but not Hrothgar ears?

[Alacran]

Please help me understand the attempted lore justification for this particular example, game designers; your “the ears are hiding” explanation doesn’t work for this hair option due to an illogical inconsistency between two different feline races that both have ears.

Are all Hrothgar making a conscious decision to uncomfortably tuck their ears under the hat, whereas no Miqo’te decide to do that? Why would the two races be different here?

Because Hrothgar were a mistake that's more trouble than their worth when made as a half measure/ limited race instead of a full one, same with Viera.

It should have been Viera as a full race with full options, then Hrothgar. But no, now they have all that backlash & still can't please everyone with said half measure.
