It's actually quite common to see multi-headed Pygmy date palms. Many times there's a lot more branches.

Not sure about this one, prefer my palms to be more elegant.

Unfortunately, this palm was overly pruned. Dwarf pygmy date palms usually have many fronds and are usually very full.

That is why it looks so unnatural.

Yes.
With so many millions of palms here...unfortunately, over pruning is a common practice. (it saves money-- however, it can kill some palms). :>(
