The players chose new content over fixing the issues, leading to the current situation where hairstyles & clothing are numerous but with clipping. Had the other route been chosen you may have not had long hair as a choice anyway.
There isn't any content that would be cut if this issue were resolved, just new glamours. Supposedly. Interestingly enough, one of the two new hairstyles introduced also clips. I'd rather the issue be fixed than have new hairstyles that I can't use. But no one asked me.
