Your preference means some race/class combinations are objectively better than others, while mine makes it easier to play whatever race/class combination one wants to. These are not the same.
Mine is objectively better, as it does not mechanically punish someone for trying something outside the stereotype. I don't care what you consider "elvish" or "realistic" or whatnot, I care about the mechanics.
The fact that you still get to make all your elves +2 dex characters also invalidates all arguments I've seen in favor of fixed bonuses, since you still get to follow that restriction without even needing to homebrew anything, if you want to. So you are completely covered under these rules.
The basic rules should cater to everyone's characters, not just yours. The system has been better at covering everyone in Tasha's and now One D&D, so it is better. There are no arguments to the contrary that doesn’t boil down to "everyone must cater to my preferences", so I hold those arguments as invalid and not worth serious consideration.
If you feel targetted by 3), maybe you should engage in some self reflection about why you care so much about putting hunanoid races into neatly defined boxes so badly. I'm not suggesting that as a joke, it really cones across as more than a little weird.
Don't you just hate it when people with dumb opinions have nice avatars?
