Strength is useless to a Wizard, Intelligence is useless to a Barbarian, and Charisma is useless to a Druid. Did you also want to discuss re-balancing or removing these abilities since they're not universally applicable? Wisdom, Dexterity, and Constitution can be used on all classes with great effect, but the other three are rather weak since not all classes can benefit from them, and since they're so weak why not remove those and add skill proficiences in their place?

Just because you like a particular race, but do not like its racial attributes, does not mean in any sort of way that those attributes are bad. If you cannot apply them to whatever build or run that you want to do, that's not a failure of the racials, that's just not optimal - which is fine. Either choose another race that you do like that's more optimal for your choices, suffer the off-pick racials, or build around it and try something new.
