So? Where else would you have them live? Agimori in the freezing wastes or elves in underground caves? Dwarves in the treetops and Uz in the sunny desert? The populations are there for good reasons and not because the authors are too unimaginative to think of anything else. If you want to have trolls then play in a region dominated by trolls.
