Or perhaps they can't think of a good name for a character of a given race and decided to have their character raised by another race? Or perhaps they like the aesthetics of the race but the lore isn't their thing, and I completely understand them (imagine being a Seeker female staying faithful to the lore, you'll be one of 10-50 females in the sect who mated with that one Nunh once or twice).
The latter is really the only reason it's become a cliche. People roll a Miqo'te without looking at the lore or naming conventions and have to find a way to explain it, or decide to play a Miqo'te because they like how they look but don't want to have to incorporate the lore into their story. And as for the last statement, that's not really the case. Plenty of people role-play Seekers (female and male both) who were raised within their tribes. Characters can choose to leave their tribe, be exiled, or spend some time away for personal pursuits (look at basically every Seeker NPC in the game outside the U tribe quests), potentially before ever mating with a Nunh.

I chose Lalafell because they seem to be the "kindest" looking race out of the bunch.
Looks can be deceiving!
There are plenty of sweet and kind lalafell NPC's, but also plenty of mean and nasty ones.
