Velves are still low on the list. They aren’t even the Alliance AR with the most customization so if anything they have to catach up. RIP Nightborne though.
So why wouldn’t he be able to get more?
Dwarves went all in to pretend wildhammer, and so did trolls with other troll tribes. Blizzard has said this is their way to add other sub-races without making whole ARs things. They have even said they are considering ways to change how you want to get adressed (like Wildhammer dwarf).
