What really makes no sense is taking a couple steps forward, attacking the air and managing to hit/defeat the enemy.

Every weapon has extraordinary range.

Most of the time the average person has no idea what's happening because the super evil guy is trying to do something that takes over the whole world at once not take understanding that if he couldn't take over it conventionally he wouldn't be able to hold it for very long.

But in the RPGs where people are aware of what's happening they do send armies and your team is like the Delta Force that sneaks around back to go kill everyone.

And there's a few that have exceptions. For example Kefka's tower is literally unreachable in FF6 except to air ships and you have the only one and trying to mobilze an army would just get you light of judgement'd anyway.

it has its roots in DnD which has its roots in war games which did indeed use turns and dice to accurately simulate war

Taking turns is just polite. Being in a fight to the death, or for the fate of the world, is no reason to be rude.

The stores in the large cities have more customers, so they sell out of the good equipment before you get there. Meanwhile, in the old village, that equipment has just been sitting there for decades because the farmers and fishermen don't have any use for it.

Shooters make no sense. You get shot a hundred times but hide behind a bench for a few seconds and you're back in perfect health.

If youre doing the same thing every turn it gets boring but its fun when you have time to plan out a strategy. Something like Tactics where you have to plan out moves in advance or where order of character moves matters.

That's an interesting way to look at it.
