It's worth noting that a similar logic occurred with ME, citing budget and engine limitations but also in secret there were massive talent issues (EA is only part of the equation to Bioware going bad and probably not the lethal part) for limitations on depictions of the aliens and what they do. It took like three games to see female turians and hanar doing anything. Andromeda had like two new races that weren't robots or animals.
And yes it wasn't helped by a bunch of staff being low-empathy/imagination brainlets who kept shoveling in more humans for "relatability" because they can't comprehend what they don't see in the mirror... which we'd see germinate throughout their post-KotOR games and culminate in Veilguard which was all about the devs and their personal delusions, but now that's veering out of xeno territory.
