Actions and things you can do to counter not having dark vision, also apply to the races with dark vision so, so that argument does not speak to the point. Dark vision races still have a BIG advantage.

Humans get Plus 1 to all stats so one extra Dex to me is not BIG. Moving faster or being immune to a spell or 2 (in a game where there are 100's of spells) is not huge. Changing my too hit stat from 75% to 55% cause its dark, is HUGE because that effects EVERY turn, not just once in a while. (50% ish of the time fights are in poor light?? )

A significant disadvantage to hit in dark places, (in a combat game) is BIG and effects the outcome of a fight.

If you are going to disadvantage my human for fighting in the dark, Fine, but that should be he gets an advantage in the light areas. That's only fair, also, I would argue light spells should be a bonus action not a full action to also help offset this disadvantage.
