I hear you!
Although i understand why they balanced the races the way they did (wanting a human dominated player character demographic), i do not actually agree with them. Even being a 1E fan that i am, i still (and always have) find the standard racial modifiers a bit .... constricting? If present, those modifiers should allow for good flavoring, but not at the expense of concept building. 5E somewhat show a progression in the right direction by allowing both Str and Dex based fighting concepts to be viable in melee, but there is till much left to be desired. I would prefer if there were more viable options for each race.
