Because she is also a person adopted into nobility and isn't the "GRRRRRAAAAHHHH SMASH EVERYTHING, YEA DRINKING AND VIOLENCE" DnD-born stereotype that people think warriors are. Moenbryda didn't sound like a stereotypical warrior woman yet her main weapon was an axe, Lyse was also a physical fighter and her voice didn't fit the stereotype. Hell, if you made someone without any knowledge of FFXIV listen to anything Thancred said in ShB or EW they wouldn't flag as coming from a tank-focused character. This is once more complaining for the sake of complaining. It's easier to point to the few characters that match their job type than it is to characters that don't fit a fantasy class stereotype.

Throughout history it was more common to find martial discplined people to engage in various cultural works, especially if they were nobleborn or adopted into it because a leader needs to be versatile and know more. A good example is Ghengis Khan who lead steppe tribes commonly viewed as 'barbaric' into an effecient military force that created one of the biggest empires in human history. He was not only a note-worthy fighter but was incredibly skilled with logistics and administrating the Mongolian Empire, he valued art, history and would rebuild cities he completely conquered and destroyed by sparing builders, architects, artists and various other skilled professions.

Correct she doesn't sound like a warrior woman because she isn't a class stereotype, she sounds like a regular person because that's how the game often portrays characters.
