1) Time contraints 2) Simplifying the story Who know's why they even bothered putting them in TTT - they served little purpose, and like you said, are never referenced again. But since scenes were filmed involving them in ROTK, then I imagine it came down to a timing issue and thus, by removing them, it also helped simplify the story (just like removing Ghan, Imrahil and the Grey Company).

I always think they have an '80's music video look

I agree that Hun, Magyar and Avar-inspired designs would be most appropriate

If you just concentrate on the capital of Minas Tirith, I would agree with you.
