I still like to headcanon since Hroths are a new race to Eorzea, only the males were sent ahead to survey the land, then when the females come they're like "men, you had one job!"
Well I think this is more of a special case. Originally as of the launch of Shadowbringers, male viera and female hrothgar were not going to be added to the game because additional races and genders create exponential effort, effort that adds work to every new set of gear, emote, job animation, etc. It was the community outcry for male viera and female hrothgar that convinced them to make it a reality, and we didn't have an NPC to promote the release of male viera as it was dropped as a surprise. That said, we do know that female hrothgar are planned already, so it's unclear how they'll approach the eventual release.
