See, I disagree we are already there. Race (or Lineage) still matters, because if you want to be the best Fighter/Barbarian, you still want to be a specific race, and it isnt Halfling.
It isn't about being the very best that no one ever was. It is about leveling the playing field so that the disparity in power between racial choices isn't as severe.
The people who min/max to the highest degree were always gonna do that with their tortle barbarians, yuan-ti sorcerers, and variant human anything. All this does is allow roleplayers to make their unorthodox roleplay concepts a little more mechanically viable.

Which is kinda the funny part in all this. All the 'omg I am missing out on my +2'...well you could already do it. its your table. Do what you and your game wants to do. We dont need Wizard's permission to do what we want...but we already HAVE that permission, and have forever.
The difference being that since Tasha's is an official rulebook it can be added to DnDBeyond, which will help me quite a lot as I do all my DnD online. It'll also help people in Adventure League and, as is relevant in this discussion, can be added to Baldur's Gate 3 as an officially supported character creation rule.
So. Yah. Not everyone needs Wizards' permission, but HAVING that permission at all is still nice.
