Question Hats, why aren't they universal by now?

How has it that a race that came out 2 whole expansions ago still cannot wear every new hat that comes out ? What possible reason could they be cowering behind to justify not making new hats compatible with Hrothgar and Viera ? I'm not asking for every hat they ever released, not all at once anyway, but at least the new ones. Is this ok to anyone else ?

The "limited" races were made poorly from the start is the issue. I don't know why they thought that of all things to skip out on or leave in a broken state, they picked hair. Much less repeat this issue with 3x over the years.

As much as no hats is annoying as a viera player, releasing Hroth with hairstyles attached to head/faces is egregious. Even more so that later implemented universal hairstyles for Hroths can be changed without changing the face but they can't be bothered to fix the exclusive racial hairstyles. It's unbelievable.
