This is objectively false. I will have lost racial bonuses.You're not losing anything by having to manually put the +2 in the stat of your choice.
The floating +2, +1 is no longer being presented as optional, so it's not a matter of not taking those options.You don't have to take those options
And the Oberoni Fallacy isn't an answer that works, since new races won't have racial bonuses for me to opt back into.--absolutely nobody is saying that you, Maxperson, can't make all your elves with +2 Dex and all your dwarfs with +2 Con and all your gnomes with +2 Int. Nobody is going to look down on you if you make all of your PCs with their +2/+1 in the "traditional way."
