i think halfling is just a non-copyrighted word for hobbit. and hobbits do pretty much suck at everything but carrying rings and looking scared.

In the first version of D&D, they where called hobbit, but Tolkien threatened to sue, so they changeed the name.

They don't suck. They have a lot of advantages. For example, by being small they get a size-based AC adjustment. They get also saving throw benefits. They're good at sneaking and thrown weapons.
Yes, they aren't strong, but with a potential starting 20 dex they're hard to hit. And, with weapon finesse, they get to apply their dex modifier to hit with certrain weapons.
