So basically Larian is saying we take care of the math, what you roll has to match the number displayed, good luck.

This is ok gameplay wise but it doesn't present DnD mechanics well in the overall presentation of the roll happening.

Being able to see the dice and getting that excitement that comes from it, plus the modifier displayed would be great.
So we can be in awe of the huge big massive 38 that was rolled and just how smooth things should go accordingly. Instead of having a simple "Bing! - you win/loose" it amounts to now.

So some DnD charm is lost with this solution

It's pretty streamlined and effective though in telling the player what is happening but not so well in telling the player about how the roll came to be.
