You're not wrong for the most part - Someone should probably tell Larian though, as they don't seem to be aware of it. Especially:
The computer can handle a much greater number, and much more diverse, foes than a human DM;
[and]
battle maps are often larger, making ranged combat more important relative to melee, etc.
These two things Larina's vision of D&D is drastically inferior and unsatisfying, compared to normal table top games. Most especially that last one.
