If you want to look silly in the role you choose, they HAVE given you this freedom. It's a different story when you want to start to use glams to make yourself appear to be a role you are currently not playing.

Diversity is not a bad thing, and freedom to do whatever you want isn't always a good thing. I believe the time and energy of the devs is better placed on improving the glam system in the areas that it is the most troublesome.
The point though, is that those level 1 glamours are casual clothes. They are generally basic shirts, coats, jackets, ponchos, dresses, and suits. None of them look like heavy armor that a Paladin might wear.
