    This. This is important to grasp.

    They said that they couldn't afford to add more races. And then they have looked at their resources and decided "okay, maybe we can squeeze just one more in to complete what we already started".

    That is not a sign that they can add more again. That's a sign that – unless the resources available to them change – they can't add anything more because they just used up their last bit of wiggle room.

    The existence of one extra thing does not automatically mean they can add every other thing people want to suggest, because it has taken up the resources that might have been needed to fund the other thing and you can't have both.
