By the way, Gnomes can start with a little bit higher strength than Erudites can because they don't need to invest 5 starting points into Agility to get it to 75.
It's not just a clear cut "9 int higher MEANS EVERYTHING!"

And just to add a bit more to your point...eBoots, which will be on the market within a month if not sooner, are +9 INT. While racial choice in classic was more important than say, Velious, for most classes, it still isnt vital to be able to have a strong, well-played character.
Also, not having to constantly rely on items to mitigate or eliminate the creeping darkness of the world is a plus. Classic nightvision is gonna mess with SO many people who are used to the high-gamma world of P99Blue.
To add a personal anecdote and opinion:
Back on classic, my first character was a human paladin. Found my way into Nektolus around level 10. No candle.
Could. Not. See. ANYTHING except my UI. Increasing gamma just made the inky blacks a little more gray.
Gnome for Wallvision(TM). Dark Elf for Ultravision. Leave the rest where they lay.
