Blizzard did this a lot in the earlier games, but in order to flesh out thing as the warcraft universe went on, they started to develop races that were just lesser developed then major ones like orcs and humans.
Ogres are the best example of this, outside of a few stupid grunts, cho'gall was the only noteworthy one, and back then we could assume ogres just sent their males into battle because you know, that old clique. But then blizzard began to make ogres appear everywhere, all over the place. They joined up as allies to the horde even the modern horde and had settlements. But even though despite, this, it didn't cross blizzards mind to introduce females, or ogre children, instead just keep protraying them as oversized grunts.
They even went as far to show a full society of them in warlords, having a raid from them, but even there, no females or children.
There really isn't an excuse at this stage, blizzard never implements them due to laziness, and now have dug themselves into a corner since without female or children, there isn't any substance for ogres outside of being just grunts, and you can't make a playable race without any substance. Even Suramar elves have more substance to them then ogres have had all these years.
