I originally came into the game thinking of playing a male lalafell merchant but upon reading up on the lore of the Keepers I became very tempted to make a Miqo'te male who is struggling with his life without his clan. I still roleplay m keeper male as traditional - he respects women, lets them take lead if they do so and knows when to be quiet. He has a sor tof hate for the clanless miqo'te which seem to be in abundance and loves his family beyond compare.
I wanted to play a keeper because by lore standards their concept of greed, thier religion and their family groups sounded interesting to me as an anthropologist.
Ironically, I have not met many miqo'te who roleplay their miqo'te as well, miqote. Most of them roleplay their miqo'te as: "I was adopted by a X race" or "I left my clan for X reason" where in a society that is so structured as it is, it would be VERY VERY outlandish to leave your clan - other clans would probably look down on you for abandoning your family.
You know, I absolutely agree with you. Despite the interesting lore, a lot of people do not take advantage of it. They play their Miqo'te as basically a Hyur cat. My Miqo'te is not different, but that is because he was raised in Garlamald and is still employed by the empire so he has no tribal nature about him at all and is actually very well spoken. I have honestly thought about having him face a bit of prejudice because of his race since it seems like most of the imperial soldiers are Hyur and Elezen. I wanted to make him a Hyur but..yeah I listed my reasons for going Miqo'te xD.
