Anyone else wish there was more race variety in companions?

I've played through my 4th playthrough recently and realised that a large majority of the companions are elves, half elves or humans, with the exception of 1 teifling and 1 gith, it just sucks because with so many races like dwarves, halflings, gnomes, orcs and dragonborn are completely excluded from the main cast unless you play one, which means if you don't play one you'll not be able to play as half the races in the game.

(Also I counted the drow as an elf, sue me)
