I edited my previous reply to your post to point out that your proposal would often increase miss chance by 15% instead of decreasing it.
Also I explicitly stated what would be acceptable hit probabilities for me. At a minimum 85%, more reasonable 90% ( that average includes both cases when you have and not have advantage/disadvantage ).
And I do not know where you see inconsistency in my post. On the other hand, it looks like you do not consider misses as an issue now in BG3, while your own compilation post mentioned it.
No it wouldn't decrease your %to hit because D&D has MANY opportunities to grant advantages.

This list you can add an advantage when your ennemy is surprised or the optionnal flanking rules (if 2 allies are in melee against a creature = both have advantage against this creature).
You would be able to add those two bonuses instead of only having an easy and cheap advantages... Leading to more tactical thinking and synergies which is I guess, what you asked in all your thread.
Only those that don't want to think about how to have an advantages would have a lower %to hit, and those who don't want to think in a tactical turn based game usually choose an easier level of difficulty... Leading to the same or an increased %to hit depending what parameters larian choose to tweak.
Your suggestion completely change how damages roll works, so yes it changes the basics and the balance of the system.
At the moment playing without highground or backstab advantage doesn't work at all.
Not sure you notice it, but the difficulty is completely broken at the moment.
