It would have been nice for them to have used the graphics update to make them more detailed at least. I assume they just didn't manage it since there are only so many new assets they make vs reusing old ones and must not have seen them as important enough compared to, say, the Mamool Ja.

But they have done this before sometimes. For example, the Hobgoblins in Kholusia could perhaps be their other shard cousins, or maybe the No mou. There are also the Dwarves in Kholusia being their version of Lalafells and the fat cactuars in Amh Araeng. So it's not like they never do this.
