The problem with the game and why we don’t have more options is that every character is loaded into the server as something like race=hyur face=4 scarOption=false. The more character creation options are added, the more entries need to be added to each character. This is why hyur and roegadyn have muscle sliders when no one else does, since they’re more basic and don’t have tail/ear sliders.

They said they could add more options, but they would need to turn down the amount of PCs you see on the screen at one time. Maybe after the data center splits they’ll look more into it but at this point I’m not holding my breath.

The reason we don’t have more sliders is part of the above, part of what’s been said before about players making grotesque characters, and partly that the equipment in the game wasn’t meant to be stretched like it is in other MMOs. It would ruin the way the gear looks. That’s also why we’re unlikely to see new body types.
