Well, they are different so if they start the same it be a little odd cause they do play a bit different plus it helps reflect the lore of the game, which is something people have been asking for in reflection of the sins sense the first sins. But, like in the first sins, when this game is actually finished, there will probably going to be starting options just like the first sins.
Me personally, I love it. I don't want to play the same units/race with just a different pain job, start point included.
