It's simpler that way, obviously.

On topic: why so much STR? Just for jump distance? Considering that Thief is the biggest bonus action spender out there, I don't see much benefit in this. At first glance, without actually trying, I would prefer WIS for Perception / Insight, if nothing else...

But yeah, interesting. Drow are natural assassins, but in 3.5 this was countered by photophobia and +2 level adjustment. Here, they just come out as OP as they could possibly be.

Its mainly for jump distance and shove proficiency - since you are in high ground a lot you will have enemies try to close the distance and making sure you can use a bonus action to push them down and also still shoot them in the same round makes sense. This is also why you want to have both Athletics and Acrobatics since they both make your shove stronger and make YOU harder to shove. The jump distance ability is huge in-game anyway.
