Looking at the pie charts, this thread shouldn't be complaining about too many Miqo'tes. It should be complaining about too many Hyrus.

However, seeing as how Hyrus are effectively the Human race in this game, it shouldn't come as a surprise that it's the race that's most abundant. After all, all the people playing this game are human. Then there's of course the popularity over characters who are only slightly beastly and said features are that of a cat, so I'm not surprised to see them as second most popular.

By the end of the day though, we all chose the race we wanted to play as because we felt like it. I went with a female Miqo'te in this game because in pretty much every other game I play, I'm always maining as a human dude. I simply asked myself the following question:

"How often do I get to play as a cat girl? Let alone choose to?"

So I went with that, just to be different from my usual routine. Besides, I've always had a slight interest in cat folk.
