Why not just allow optional free edit then?
Strawman.
There's a difference between being able to put a +2/+1 where you want and being able to type in a +4 to everything. You also didn't complain about the suggestion to allow rolling for ability scores, even through that could lead to say, two or three 18's being rolled.
If you want to change my mind, you have to coherently explain how someone else playing with a floating +2/+1 score where they want prevents you from choosing to leave them where the default is. How does someone else, over there out of sight, using floating ASI's, personally ruin YOUR fun.
