I'm not even sure what that is asking. Like if one really likes dragonborn as a concept, but thinks that their rules in PHB make crap job of representing them, how should they answer? Presumably some sort of 'dissatisfied'. And how would WotC tell that apart from someone being dissatisfied with the dragonborn because they hate them and want to get rid of them?
You mean like D&D elves, dwarves, half elves, and half-orcs have always been?There is a problem if you make your races very human-like then allow all their proficiecies, languages, and ability score boosts to be swappable.
They become human.
WOTC is figuring out what many saw in halflings, many of the races and rubber-forehead humans with different cultures.

They've done lotsYou seem to need everything justified by the company to fit their settings/worlds, or to fill some mechanical or theory design space. That WoTC (& TSR before them) hasn't done much with them, or much that interests you, causes you to dismiss them. And worse - equate them to goblins & kobolds.
Here's the deal though:There is a problem if you make your races very human-like then allow all their proficiecies, languages, and ability score boosts to be swappable.

The elves are insane.Elves are horrible aliens who don't sleep and live so long they should all be insane, but they don't in D&D.
"Should" is a bit strong of phrasing as it presumes human biology and psychology. That said, I do like Eberron's take on elves as ancestor and death-obsessed. They were essentially built around the fundamental fear of losing so much accumulated knowledge and wisdom to death.Elves are horrible aliens who don't sleep and live so long they should all be insane, but they don't in D&D.
They're also ultra-conservative, which also makes sense. In fact, all demihumans in Eberron are."Should" is a bit strong of phrasing as it presumes human biology and psychology.
