I don't think anyone is arguing that there shouldn't be substantial differences between different species and cultures in a setting, so that a typical orc or typical elf are very distinct. Diversity is fun and interesting! I think the only issue is whether game mechanics should be used to steer players, specifically, towards building a typical orc or typical elf. That's the only part where I have an issue, because I've seen how it leads to a lot of same-y characters.
