I never really got that reason. Shit isn't that hard.
>Elves get extra dexterity and magic and shit
>But they're related to fairies so they can't use metal weaponry or armor and they have some less HP
>Here's a table of elven equipment, featuring hardwood spears, bone clubs, stone axes, and hardwood/bone plated armor layered with weaved cloth
Literally ancient samurai style armor when not enough metal was available.
Done. Now there's a reason not to play elves.
>Dwarves sink like rocks so they can't swim, and they're so resistant to non holy magic that they also roll to save against friendly spells
>Halflings are tiny and weak. Huge strength and constitution minus. Also they eat two rations a day, so they're barely able to carry their own food, let alone extra shit
There you go. Now there's a good reason to play human instead.
