Is it because the character you're designing makes the most sense as a mahjarrat and can't be done well as another race, or because you thought, "Hey, I don't have a mahjarrat character yet, I would like to have one."

NO.

I have heard people say, "I don't have any other mahjarrat," or, "My one mahjarrat," or, "I only have one of them," way too many times, as if it justifies the fact that their banker is a random ass superhuman demigod. (Spoiler: it doesn't.)

I've pretty much sworn at this point that I'm never going to have one, because I'm convinced that any character who would make sense as a mahj could be done just as well in some other race. Also because having one makes it hard to complain about too many people having them, lol.
