Because it's what balances a game, and also creates against type and also helps create archetypes and also creates conflict when making a character. Making choices matter.As for 2e elves. Yes. Perfect idea. Let's go through the races, make different books (like Eberron), add some races or subraces. I am 100% in agreement. here is why. Because that would be expanding the game without modifying the rules in the PHB. Also, it would take time. By the time they covered everything, they would be on to the next edition. And guess what, maybe some of those new creations would stick, much like dragonborne did. They would carry over. Some might even go away. All that is perfectly okay. Lore changes. And even better, it would change at a pace that is tested and help the new edition be its own creation. I'm sorry. Are they changing a rule in Volo's or the PHB? Again, it does go back to them having to choose what best represents the orc. The PHB is cannon. How many copies have sold compared to Volo's? You are comparing the Bible to a book from the Pope. Sure they may discuss many of the same things, but people reference and draw from the source much more. The more esoteric draw from the other. And the erudite use one as a base, and the other as a building block. As far as gods (you might not like this), but why did they only mention one in the PHB? I think I know the answer - because it BEST represents the race the author's were creating. They didn't have room to detail all six, so go with the best representation. You should look for more. They are called setting books.</blockquote>
