Actually, if you watch again you will see you're incorrect. What happened when she asked was Yoshi looking confused then saying (paraphrased) "but it's already available". He assumed it was in the game as he'd told the developers to put it in. The reason it wasn't available was a *mistake* and the person asking for it simply bought the issue to his attention. It was then rectified.

The Spriggan Hat wasn't added because she asked for it, rather it was because she proved they had mistakenly left it out.
