Claws are 1 damage for 1 refresh, and aren't concealable by default (granted Human Guise is -0).

Strength powers provide 2 damage for 2 refresh, adds other benefits relating to Might and grapples, is not an obvious weapon.  Moreover, you can also stack strength with muscle driven weapons - like most melee weapons - to further boost damage.  So you can combine a free weapon 2 with Strength to hit for 4 damage, whereas Claws doesn't stack with weapons.

In terms of damage adding powers, Strength powers have the same overall damage efficiency as claws, have higher peak damage since they stack with weapons, and provide other benefits.  So Claws aren't exactly going to be a part of too many ideal combos.
