I cant imagine how else its suppose to work ...
You have 3 enemies ... two in Leather Armor, one of them with shield ... one in Chainmail armor with shield ...
You attack an enemy ...
You have no idea if the strike will land or not, since you dont have any estimated %, or info about their AC ...
You missed.
And now what?
How would you know if you missed, just bcs you rolled 2, or bcs their AC is 25 ? O_o
Based on what would you decide if you want to try your luck with another enemy, or try the same one again?
First one in Leather have AC 19, bcs he have high Dexterity (too lazy to count it right now)
Second one in Leather have AC 21, bcs he have high Dexterity and shield (still too lazy to count it right now)
Chainmail dude have AC 18, since he have +0 from dexterity he dumped (but you dont know that, since you dont see their stats, or AC)
Yes ... those stats were decided specificly so the "most armored" dude is easiest target.
