I think the racial diversity would have been better if they had left the 5e racial modifiers alone. Right now the racial bonuses do not create enough racial choice division and so people go with what they know.
If they did that then the unpopular classe2 would be even more unpopular because the majority only want to play with +2 CHA stat. So Drow and High Elves would simply be more popular, all the other races would have fewer players.
You can actually make a Gith play any class, also the proficiency ability to a whole ability's skills is very nice, you could do this on a Gith caster, or melee or any class.
People aren't playing them because they don't like them. If they were still stuck to +2 Str, +1 Int racial lock, even fewer people would be playing them.
