There's no reason for him to have rolled as an elf when dwarves will be available day 1.

The race change isn't intended to help people who don't have a clear character concept or who want to switch to "whatever race gives me the best mechanical benefit". It's there for people who specifically want to play a gnome, halfling, half-elf, or half-orc and cannot create that character at launch.

I don't think opinion has much to do with this. It has been pretty well established why the race change is intended to be an option. As well as that there will be time-limits to use it after the new options are added.
