The amount of flexibility and decision making in 5e characters is criminally low. I really dislike how they make players choose between ASIs and feats.
I also agree with having a limited selection feats at level 1, removing the temptation to pick one of the OP feats. It'll give characters something extra to do at low levels which seems to match with Larian's philosophy, and as you say allows for some of the weaker-but-often-thematically-cooler feats to be picked.
