Unified in what way? curiousYes, but this offers a unified furry option to cover anything, amd scratches the wingfic itch to boot. I think the survey results will be positive.

One set of mechanics for any animal you like. Without such, you would need racial traits for every kind of animal.Unified in what way? curious
A single option that they can put in the PHB, without adding 30 races to that one book. All those other options are still in Monsters of the Multiverse, which is a OneD&D supplement already.Unified in what way? curious
Not every animal you like, just any animal that represents a 'virtuous association'. Throughout human history, certain animals were associated with a particular virtue (any trait or quality that is deemed to be morally good). So it's likely that the number of animals with virtuous associations is going to be small in number.One set of mechanics for any animal you like.

Note that aardlings exist in addition to all those other options.
I would say the opposite- I can’t think of any animal offhand that doesn’t have a virtuous association in some culture somewhere, especially if we include fantasy cultures.Not every animal you like, just any animal that represents a 'virtuous association'.

That is a meaningless qualifier. Every animal may well have been heralded as some sort of virtuous at some point somewhere.Not every animal you like, just any animal that represents a 'virtuous association'.
given that they are made for the furry demographic that is unlikely to bother them in the slightest as they are not particularly bothered about biological accuracyThat is a meaningless qualifier. Every animal may well have been heralded as some sort of virtuous at some point somewhere.
If there's something to pick a fight over, it's at WotC going 'here's an animal head, now you don't need any beast races with mechanics that would actually have something to do with the animal in question'.
