My guess is they want to make them potentially playable as a character race, and thus they must look not-gross.

Look at the Drakmell or as you know them Dragonborn the females of those lizards are supposed to look sexy. WotC's board has a topic about how ever races seems to have to be sexy and have breasts: Everything in D&D4 will have breasts.
lizards with breasts whats next Wotc. oh, I know a giant chicken race just remember the female of the race must be sexy.

My guess is that WOTC is learning from one of World of Warcraft's mistakes: they originally had no races in the "Horde" faction with attractive females, and as a result, the populations were incredibly skewed against that faction. Most women didn't want to roleplay an ugly female character, and most men who wanted to play women didn't either. Thus, when the first expansion came out, they made sure to add a "pretty" race for the Horde.
The upshot: if you want females of a race to be at all popular among players, you should at least give them the option of being attractive.
Now, there are some races (like orcs) where they SHOULD remain ugly for RP reasons. But for dwarves or githyanki... why not? (I'll use the dwarf example because I'm more familiar with the race, but I think it'd extend to githyanki as well.) Obviously dwarves think their women are sexy. As long as they're still obviously "dwarfy" (short and stocky), is there any harm in making them look non-ugly from the human perspective?

I just hope this attractiveness fetish brings back the 2e Marilith and the 2e Medusa.
I may need to homebrew up another medusa-lite character race either way.
Snakes for hair and screwing people up just by staring them down is just good times.

Y'know what's really weird? The Dryad doesn't have boobs now. Almost 35 years of Dryad boobage gone!
