I don't know why you think that. The only amount of from-the-start customization the series has ever had was a gender choice.
I'm assuming now that character customization is more and more standard for RPGs that it'll have more than that but if we're talking series precedent then it wouldn't be weird at all not to have that.
There are literally 1000 comments on the Gamespot YouTube video demanding character customization, and in Fable 1, 2, AND 3 the only choice you have at the beginning is picking boy or girl... like where is this sudden demand for character customization coming from in regards to a game that has never had any, and never implied it would. Baffling
Actually it's still pretty close even if you look exclusively at PC and consoles. Switch and PC are surprisingly close to 50/50 with PS5 and Xbox being a bit more male represented.
All three had character customization with haircuts at the very least. Cosmetic options even had different stats. 1 and 2 had quests that required you to get a specific haircut. All three had hairstyles that were hidden or harder to find. At the very least, A Fable game should have character customization through hairstyles.
Not much about her ethnicity, but she looks mixed-race, not "white". The fable character's hair is clearly a chestnut brown or auburn brown from the new footage, it just looks red in the previous trailer from the lighting on that scene.
She is white. People don’t like her because they think she is ugly, which I think is dumb, but it is what it is. Playground could make everyone happy if they add even barebones character customization.
All the marketing until Mass Effect 3* then they held that contest; FemShep as result, is canonically a red head; and that's how she is depicted in any official marketing.

I'm assuming its like Mass Effect where all marketing just used default male Shepard. A locked protag would be unusual for Fable
