Miqo'te NPC characterization is all over the place. You have a bunch of serious, non-sexualized Miqo'te around, but the ammount of Miqo'te that have weird "cat-like" quirks or who are sexualized in some way is kind of staggering.
Lalafellin, on the other hand, seem to get played for laughs or for pure cuteness in only two occasions I can think of during the game. The first one is a Brass Blade soldier in Horizon, who is all cute and naive. The second is Tataru, who works for the Scions.
There are probably a few more around, but besides their looks I never got the impression that Squee was playing lalafellin as cute most of the time. But all of their animation and looks scream "CUTE!" with capital letters, so that's probably why people play them as such.
Also, they are a short race and if I have learnt anything from videogames is that short races are very often played for laughs. I'm not sure why.
