Because they are showing off the characters that are currently included, so you know what to expect.
As you said, there are also non-furry avatars in there, and if you don't like furry's, all you have to do is switch to those.

The only problem currently is that you will start as "Fluffo", the mascot of FaceRig, every time you launch. It has been suggested to save your last character, but that isn't implemented yet (if it gets implemented)

'cause there's no interest in using a virtual webcam to make you appear as a human when you're already human?

It has
2 human males
2 human females
1 demon male
1 anime female

4 animals (cat, wolf, dog, red panda)
2 furries (wolf, fox)
1 dragon
1 hamburger

how do you change you apareance to look like obama for a prank call
humans can not shap shift if we could this would be obsolieat

For the Pro version using more human avatars would be a good idea (because of the reasons you stated Tic-toc26). But for the non-pro version I think furs are more likely to use it and for more than just amusement. Two videos would probably be a better way to go.

Animals appeal to many people, to be honest. For marketing purposes as well, animals give off a "friendly" vibe and they connect with a larger age and location audience.
Swedish people feel more comfortable with Swedish advertisements, Germans with German advertisements, and so on. Using an animal as a mascot, while also demonstrating the power of the program to map facial expressions and movements to a digital medium that is not a mirror image of the face the program is capturing, is a win-win scenario since people from many cultures feel comfortable with them.
Taking this same concept and applying it to streamers who do not wish to show their real face (and sometimes voice) also fall under this category, for example. People of many different cultures have access to streaming sites, and using an animal as an avatar is more likely to appeal to a wider range of individuals and cultures than a human of a specific region/race.
Being a furry myself, as well, I can say that this type of technology has been sought after on a consumer level for a while with this amount of support and reliability, as well as promise, behind it. The developers made a smart move, in my opinion, in including many animals as default avatars because of the market just laying it wait within the community for the right software to come along. They tapped into a fairly large market just by including the animal avatars.
Also, keep in mind that later, full support for community made models to import into the program will come about, and we will have no shortage of any type of model you can imagine. Always remember that if you see something in the program that you do not like, or something that you would that has not been implemented yet, remember this is still a Beta of the software, and anything can happen :)

I take it you also boycot cartoons and disney films?
The characters are exactly that - characters, how people decide to use them is up to the people themselves but the characters are nothing more than innocent anthropomorphisms and in this vein the vast majority of people can sit through a micky mouse cartoon without screaming that the "Evil furries are trying to corrupt our children!!!".
If you see an animalistic character and the first thing you can think of is perversion, THAT is frankly disturbing.

So much stupid reasoning not to buy the program my eyes bleed.
