They made a tongue in cheek joke early on in the EA but cant inmagine they did this with intent.
I think they wanted to add this as an option and overwrote the old option or something? Seems kinda weird to do this when they said the game would launch with phb options.
The two systems are too different to not have been intentional...
As I said before, I use a mod that restores the PHB racials and gets rid of the crappy new system. Not just for humans, but for all races. It works like a charm for me and has managed to quell my disappointment over the changes.
Unfortunately it seems Larian or WotC are hellbent on requiring us to mod the game if we want to use the racial ASI from the PHB and other things to be decently close to 5E (2014) core rules.
