I just want to remind ya that the racial bonuses never made sense in the first place. If they did humans, the best wizard and sorcerer race in the lore would have a +2 int and +2 cha.

Theres other weird stuff like gith not getting +2 int eventhough they are multidimensional raiders who love to consume new knowledge.
What never made sense is that stats are capped at 20, leading to the truly mindblowing idea that a 40 pound gnome with 20 strength is as strong as a 250 pound dragonborn with 20 strength. Take that away and the ASIs make plenty of sense.

And please do remember that "best wizard and sorcerer race" is something you've decided based on the end of the journeys that those arcane types went on, not the start of it. Humans tend to get there, in part because there's just a lot more of them, and in part because they're often crazier than most other races in terms of breaking rules and taking chances to achieve their goal.
