Half-elf's popularity, whether in 5e proper or BG3, is largely due to two factors: mechanical strength, and "regular" appearance. (Especially in regards to BG3, but there's plenty to dissect regarding the game's attitude towards and treatment of "regular" races versus "minority" races in said game, in light of the kind of people who are the game's clear target audience and heavily favoured by the game.)
The proposed solution is simple, easy, and gives flexibility to players who want to play mixed-race characters. It also avoids problematic circumstances regarding races in terms of strengths or moral compass, both things D&D has been trying to build away from.
