Good point. I also want to pick feats but feel forced to max main stat asap on every PC, because of how important it is. I hope next edition will separate ASI's and feats again.

Another good point is making sub-optimal builds more on-par. Like an Elven Fighter can roll 18 Strength rather than start with 14-15 which heavily railroads all elves into finesse builds.

Yes! Rolling also makes MAD classes like monk and non-hexblade blade pact warlock reasonable to play. Monk for instance requires four ASI to get dexterity and wisdom to 20 if you don't roll. You could decide not to use ASI for stats, but that is usually not optimal.
