No one is forcing you to respec. Just because an option is available does not mean you have to use it. If you don't like the start stats are the same for everyone, when you pick a race give that race the stats that they had before. Problem solved. You are not playing against others. No one is forcing you to make these choices. Why is MORE choice bad?
Because it trivialises the weight of the original choice.
E.g. consider marriage. If you knew you could only divorce for a massive cost would it change the way you pick a partner Vs. If divorce was instant, for free and a new partner selection was guaranteed? Would you also invest the same amount of time in either case?
