Good grief. Can you not tell the difference between "now" and "several years in the future"?
And yes, it was obvious that when Tasha's came out they were piloting proposed rules changes. And no one at WotC said "these rules will be optional FOREVER". Of course, had they not been generally well received, they would have rolled them back.
Of course, all rules are optional, and WotC encourage house rules. If you don't like the rules you have official permission to change them to suit yourself.

2 = several now? When did that change happen?

4 years in 2020, particularly at thst point they wouldn't have had data yet on reception of the options.

For the 50e human, I suspect, the race feat will be default Prodigy. Possibly a variant rule allows a DM/player to swap it. Plus, there will be the background feat.

It's only 2 years. 2020 = Tasha. 2022 = announcement of Tasha no longer being optional for the next edition. It took 2 years. In any case, 4 =/= several, either.

Heh, for me 3 to maybe 9 can be "several".

I think defaulting prodigy would kill it. They're already not used much due to people viewing +1s to mostly useless secondaries as better than a feat of their choice and proficiency of their choice. Limiting that feat to one good, but not great feat would cause even fewer to pick it.
As for the background feats, everyone will get them, so they can't be used when assessing racial abilities. I don't think they will kill the race the way you propose. The racial feat will probably remain open to any feat allowable to humans.
Maxperson

Yeah. I forgot how vague "several" is. It's still 2 years from Tasha's to announcement, though. So not several.
