Yeah, I think it appears to be generally acceptable by most people. And 5e is moving to change them from monstrous to more complex social constructs. For me, I'm a Tolkien fan (and what much of DnD was inspired of, so much so they had to change names from some original content, such as halflings were actually hobbits etc. until they had to change due to legal challenges from the Tolkien estate).
I prefer the fantasy play on orcs, goblins, trolls etc. in the Tolkien like. Monsters either created by magic or through some evil deity. In my mind, goblins will always be Tolkien like and what we saw is pretty much something else.
Not complaining, I think the game is shaping up very nice, but I do agree with the OP
