Yeah, but why would they want to play a human and a half-elf if they get the neglected child treatment by the developer?
I honestly think that it's something you and me can notice, but not the 95% of the playerbase. There will be a lot of people that never played 5e (coming from dos and BG), there will be a lot of people who weren't interested in the early access and will see these stats as the first version for them, and there will be a lot of people that don't care about it anyways.
I agree that what these three races received is poor at least, but the biggest drive to play a race is the desire to play that race.
