I agree.
Their changes are utterly weird and nonsensical and add nothing as far as I am concerned. Can I use the old ASI? Sure, in some cases I can. But 3 of my favorite D&D races (humans, half-elves & shield dwarves) have effectively eliminated and tiefling subraces could as well be just removed, as their differences aren't really there apart from 3 spells.
So I'm not happy about the changes. At all.
