Overall, I think the video's concept is entirely plausible, though of course care should be taken with using it since, well, it's not lore, nor especially supported by existing lore. To the best of my knowledge, though, it doesn't contradict anything we know about Keepers which, honestly, is not much. (For what it's worth, the "meerkat" concept also works.) So, it definitely seems like something people can reasonably use for their backstories if they want.

It's not so big of a problem when you consider that the PCs are a subset of adventurers, who are themselves a subset of all Eorzeans. Given the issues male miqo'te have culturally, it makes sense to me that more of them would be adventurers than you'd expect by the general population distribution. That's why we see more male miqo'te PCs, but relatively few NPCs. The male miqo'te are still rare, they're just less rare among PCs because they self-select to be adventurers more often than the general populace.
