As I said, this might be a dev choice and by design (who knows) and some players, as this thread showed, might even prefer this. The lampost ears just turned into a running joke between my friend group. If you like the animations and think that they're good enough, whatever, as I said, taste is taste.
I was just pointing out that you're conflating animation and physics. They're two different things. Miqote ears are animated in emotes but do not have movement physics. Viera ears have movement physics but are not animated in emotes.
