I wouldn't consider the presence of an item that allows someone to change their character's race as 'not being a big deal'. If people want to embrace it as being an IC thing then sure - nobody can stop them but that doesn't mean it isn't realistically a huge life changing affair for that particular character.
That's pretty much what the stigma comes from - people overuse them or just don't think it through and it ends up feeling like the role-player in question is just unreliable/bored easily. An argument can be made that it can be done well but sadly in many cases it isn't.
