Humans racial traits?

[artificer]

I noticed that humans get a +2 on a chosen ability modifier but not a -2 like other races. Is that a way to compensate for not having night vision and similar traits as other races?

Half-Orcs and Half-Elves also have this setup. The rationale is that races with a -2 have two stats at +2.

Is this something you are uncomfortable with?

Humans get a bonus feat as well as the +2 stat bump with no negative. This was done to help balance the race and to give people a reason to play Humans.
