Entirely false.
They were never marketed as such, they did include some on release and they've released more through the years (including hoods with holes for ears).
For those playing on PC, UNPAID modders have fixed virtually all headgear to work on these races IN THEIR FREE TIME, so don't go throwing out the budged/time excuse.

FF14 has paid expansions(1), a monthly fee(2), an extensive optional items shop (3) and an incentive to pay monthly for extra storage space/retainers, due to not increasing bag/glam slots in game (4).

It's not wild to ask for bog standard features included in every game ever with equippable gear.

WoW Tauren (among others), who have elongated animal heads, horns and giant neck humps have had working headgear since 2004.

If SE wanted, they could have paid nickels and dimes to use the aforementioned modders' work, but, of course those dimes are better spend on Takashi Kiryu's next NFT fad, garbage games like Forspoken and Avengers, or more live service slop like Foamstars - that's going free to play next month.

But sure, it's only been 3 expansions SE's been cutting corners from their only steadily profitable product. Sure splitting the team more will be fine and 8.0 will FINALLY be the good one.
