The reason why Paizo wants people to go to Cons to get Race Boons is the most secret thing in secretom... they are a business first.
Yes it is generally frowned upon to pay cash for a race boon. Yet in all actuality, spending cash to go to the Con is really a lottery chance to get a race boon Vs spending money to get a race boon with little chance involved (the frowned upon option).
If all races were legal, Paizo would have a tougher time attracting people to their cons which means less cash flow, which means they are not profiting.
The Pathfinder Puritan fiddlesticks really about why there are legal, restricted, and banned races. The excuses I've read by such Pathfinder Puritans are such moot points that they barely hold an ounce of water.
Paizo is a business. Money is what allows them to publish more books, hold cons, sell more miniatures, etc.
I would preorder a player companion that came with a Chronicle Sheet for that Race like how Aasimars had it as that is closer to a guaranteed chance.
