Weapon or armor proficiencies from a race? Not a good idea.

Making a Human Fighter with every racial weapon and armor proficiency being redundant would definitely not feel good. Or getting Halberd proficiency as a Wizard or Rogue? Ridiculous and useless. So.. why?

Getting more skills or a feat would be flavorful and useful though. 5e is very stingy with both, feats especially, and I'd like to see more feats handed out without competing directly with ASI's.
