As far as I'm familiar with the DnD vocabular (I'm not a DnD/BG player), a "variant human" is a human where you can give +1 to two abilities and take one skill proficiency and one feat. Many would like to have this non-PHB version (?) of the human in BG3. I think you meant with "variant humans" different human "races" (which biologically don't exist nowadays in our world), there is indeed no need for and sense in such differences.
I'm ok with the BG3 humans, being able to get several abilities to 16 is enough for me. My gripe is just with visuals, I don't like to have them with torso hair.
