Did Low Light Vision get an upgrade?

[Lanathar]

I am not sure if this is the right forum

My reading is that Low Light vision being tied to lighting conditions is a big upgrade on 1E meaning it won't get largely ignored like it does in many 1E games (Darkvision or nothing)

Or do I have a bit of confirmation bias?

Context:

I am looking at Half Elves and Orcs and see that instead of picking an ancestry that gives you a general feat or training in a skill you get low light vision and access to more heritage feats. If this was 1E (even with downgrades in many general feats) that would be a terrible deal

But it doesn't seem like that on closer reading

Or do the "half" races get a little short changed? I haven't everything as I don't have my book yet so am reading bits and pieces through AON (definitely NOT the way to do it)

I'm not super familiar with 1E, but in the context of 2E, to my understanding, low light vision means creatures aren't Concealed from you just for being in Dim Light (which means you can bypass the DC 5 flat check needed to hit them with an attack and they can't use the Dim Light to become Hidden from you.)
