The problem is that humans lose their defining trait and get nothing for it in return. Every other race has a host of racial abilities that define them. Humans defining racial feature is their adaptability. If their stat selection feature is given to every race then they need to be given unique abilities to make up for it.
I agree with adding the Variant Human into the game eventually, but I would also like to see the Racial Stat Selection from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything make it into the game, so that you can make the character you want instead of feeling pigeonholed into specific race-class combinations because of fixed racial bonuses.
I think that would be better overall than nixing free stat selection to make humans seem better.
