I highly doubt that an army with only three models (Ynnari) is going to get its own codex.

hard to tell, if they do it'll be along side a SUBSTANTIAL release wave. one that likely really re-defines who they are

It will be a slowly increase in units more likely they expanded Stormcast from AoS after the starting box units.

It's been stated one of the reasons we don't get plastic aspects it's because sometimes the designers do not feel interested in remade an old model and want to try new things, plus GW it's always looking to sell more models (so making a remodel may net less profit than making a whole new unit).

Ynnari likes primaris provides exact what they need a way to fill thw gap from old armies to newest. By slowly adding new units so newcomers and older players can buy those since those units/models aren't competing with older versions of themselves.

Because GW sort of forgot about Iyanna in favour of a crazy-cat lady spankatrix and Eldrad being the movers and shakers in the Ynnari fluff, so instead of copy and pasting a named Ynnead psyker in each Codex we get new ones

true although a Magus/Morty scale Avatar of Khaine would be a nice bone to throw to Eldar players as even the FW one errs on the diddy sized

Harlequins did used to be in Codex: Eldar, alongside craftworld units in 2nd edition.

They were in the 4th and 6th edition codexes after being reintroduced as a single unit.

There's no reason that they shouldn't/couldn't be included in this edition too.

They were also in the Dark Eldar Codex in 5th which meant the same unit in game had different points values and functions which created issues.

Reintroducing Harlequins to Codex: Craftworlds means the same must be done with Codex: Drukhari, and then again in Codex: Ynnari. Hell, for sake of posterity we could add them also to Codex: Space Marines.

It's the continuing cycle.

1) GW wants to make more money = more codices.
2) Players "think" they want more sub-factions with their own books = Small subfactions receive a codex (see above).
3) Players complaing when tiny subfaction (which doesn't really justify a Codex itself) is not competitive/strong as a normal army/race.

Why don't they just flesh out the existing codex's then, and that way everybody wins?

Granted, Black Templar players have been complaining since 5th they need their own codex to tell them they can take Scouts in Tactical Squads, so maybe there is some truth to it.
