This might come as a shock to some but plenty of roleplayers also want their characters to be mechanically effective too. In the aforementioned goblin druid example this goblin would just be inferior to an elven druid out-right even if their story doesn't involve being an inferior druid.

However if someone wanted to roleplay a goblin druid who is struggling to be as competent as other druids of different races the option is still there to just not max your Wis to get the character YOU wanted.

Tasha's rules do nothing but give players more options to make sure the character roleplay and the character mechanics are working together instead of in opposition to each other.
