If we consider that Eorzea is a huge place with tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Miqo'te, the Miqo'te player-character base is suddenly a minority.
Because of the low male birth rate, most Miqo'te need to be polyamorous or have frequent short-term monogamous pairings in order to sustain their species (racial) population.
However, even if the whole Miqo'te player-character base were monogamous, they are too small a minority to really harm the species (race) with their actions.
The lore on traditional Miqo'te is clear (what little there is), but there are also plenty of examples of Miqo'te who live according to a city culture, and examples of monogamous Miqo'te in the game. There has even been an example of a Miqo'te who was interested in a Hyur man.
Every culture has deviants, and all the monogamous deviant Miqo'te player-characters won't hurt their species, and are not breaking lore. Not all Miqo'te are of the same mindset, and people don't always do what is best for their species. The proof is humanity itself IRL.
I myself like my characters to feel very different from me because it creates an interesting challenge for RP. So, Kiht is close to a traditional Keeper with a traditional mindset. It infers -nothing- about me IRL aside from the fact I like to play something I'm not.
As for how Kiht reacts to monogamous Miqo'te; she is apathetic. As long as the nontraditional "deviants" don't try to shove their beliefs in her face, she is too busy to be judging anyone's shit. She has other more important shit to do.
Also, all those Nunh who are walking around trying to collect random Miqo'te women into a harem are either looking for ERP, or misunderstanding Miqo'te lore. They should -not- be used as examples of Seeker lore because they are not abiding by Seeker lore. Can people please stop citing the horny cat-dude player-characters as lore?
