I have to say that I don't quite get the "human is too boring" response, as you put it, Seriphyn. And by that I mean as a reason for which to play a Miqo'te. Or for that matter pretty much all the races here as a base. None of them are far enough removed from the 'basic human' to seem like a real reason. And the Miqo'te are certainly included in this assessment. They are humans who have furry ears and a furry tail. Thats pretty much it. And from a cultural perspective, at least the non-city versions of them have a tribalistic bent. The latter bringing the only real meaty difference between them and a 'Hyur'. But even that cultural divide in the game, is far less than it could be.
And I guess that is my own personal beef with Miqo'te as a race. I would like the bestial aspects of them to be far more exaggerated and for them to really feel like they are like a true race. As it is, they are more of a human subrace. Which is true of all the other playable races.Â
tldr; In essence, Miqo'te aren't distinct enough of a race for me to buy the "human is too boring" reason as valid on an objective level. Though of course 'race' choice is a game is often an emotional thing and in the end is a subjective choice.
