Anyway: I like practical armour, which is there to defend the wearer. Even if it was too expensive to design those for females as well (which is honestly a bs argument), they could at least make them equal in defense.
Point is, what you want and like might not be necessarily what most others want and like. Most guys like seeing cute / sexy girls, and many girls like dressing in such a way. This is true both in games and real life. No amount of moralism will change this fact.

Concerning Miqo'tes which apparently are the prime offenders with their default outfit are easily explained.

Catgirls (and cat "humans" in general) are present in Japan since ancient times.
In current eastern pop culture, catgirls are often cutesy sexualized, as opposed to western culture where they are usually depicted as "catwoman styled".
Female Miqo'tes are currently one of the most played race/sex combination, both by male and female players.

Seems to me most of the players are fine with how things currently are.
