Variety, originality, and creativity? Also maybe players shouldn’t have assumed

That would be coming up with an interesting character. Swapping alignments around seems more like subversion for the sake of subversion. There are a lot more races that would be more interesting to explore like Mindflayers or Duergar

Perfect segway. I also love when mindflayers aren’t inherently evil as well.

Edit: Downvote me all you want, it won’t stop me from making a friendly mindflayer grandma NPC who bakes pies for adventurers and reads their minds to find out their favorite flavors.
