The reality is that it's not a great system for a videogame. Tabletop D&D keeps it because it is easy to run at a table and doesn't disrupt the flow of the game, but if I were making the game I'd ditch the entire 5e skill system and replace it with something else.
The extremely thin and uninteresting skill system is one of 5e's weakest points anyway, I don't see why anyone would want to put in the time and effort to replicate it.
