Perhaps it is because if you don't push the boundaries of your imagination, you might as well play a board game? I'm sure FFG will be happy either way since the chances are that you're going to be buy one of their boardgames.

They want "untouchable" marines, female marines, chaos marines, stunty marines, ogrynn marines, orc marines, eldar marines etc.
The premise of the game is there, Adeptus Astartes are male, if you don't like this restriction simply play something else. If you want people to go beyond what is presented make your choice, but understand the vast majority of 40K fans don't care to hear about female marines,
The story you as gm and players tell is your story, and no matter how great, you are going to switch off many if you "cheat" the game. It is however your game, your universe but understand every time you introduce this kind of munch/tat/Political Correctness another part of the God-Emperor is subsumed by chaos.
I might point out that 'chaos' loyalist marines are canon, (Soul Drinkers, anyone?) though I admit that men with spider legs are unlikely to be seconded to Deathwatch, unless some serious excrement to fan contact is taking place. I'd love to play a power armor wearing squat in DW 'Viking Name, last of the metalnounstonebeard clan"
For a real mind screw: in canon, a chapter once inducted robots as honorary members. That would make them Robot Marines...
Wow this little bit of trolling really went well lulz =]

Trolling 40k is easy. Making sense of what's being said is hard.
For really easy trolling, just enter a random thread and post something like : "GAUNT IS GAY, DAN ABBNET SUXXX0R!" or "DOOM OF MALAN'TAI CAN HIT EMBARKED UNITS!" or 'DEFFROLLAS!" and sit back and watch the fireworks.
