After the horrors of 3.5e/PF1e, I just can’t go back to another Human PC. Every PC was a human, because they were the only ones who got another flexible feat slot, and there were a LOT of feat taxes.
Isn’t this still a thing? Almost every character I’ve played in 5e who wasn’t a human would have been mechanically stronger as a Variant Human (or a Custom Lineage with the feat option) than as whatever they were.

The trick is that I dont play d&d 5e, eheheh
My approach to that kind of thing was always to just use the statblock I wanted, and re-skin it to the lineage I wanted.
