This type of workaround could also be used to add things like hairstyle variants, alternate highlight patterns and gear toggles.
It should be possible to do it that way, yes. They probably just didn't want to do it for memory related reasons. I do remember they also said that creator as a whole also had a limited amount of slots available for things - which is why we didn't really get any new face paints, for example, because haircuts got a higher priority.

I'm pretty sure they mentioned drastically increasing that slots limit during preparation for 7.0, so it shouldn't be as much of an issue right now as it was back then, and perhaps they'll look into expanding those options now.
