That leads into a bigger problem; the game was made for dungeon exploring, and so it doesn't really want people seeing clearly beyond a certain point, even with darkvision, you're typically at disadvantage to see things out to 60'. But on a clear day, you can see very far if there's nothing in particular blocking your vision. I live in a Midwestern state, and within 5 minutes I can drive out of town and be confronted by empty fields of nothing for miles around.
Reading this thread, outside of a dungeon, I get the impression everything needs to be forest primeval or full of big rocks to hide behind for melee combat to even exist. Nobody would dare travel down a road that is anywhere near straight, for fear of being mowed down by arrows, lol.
Every monster and enemy must have a piece of terrain they can spring out of to ambush the player characters, or be sniped down!
Oh and flying enemies apparently are impossible to ever encounter during the daytime, since you'd be able to see them coming long before they could ever get into melee. Might as well take all of them out of the Monster Manual!
Eh. Honestly, the great truth is that barring things like flat arid plains, visibility of human sized targets is more constrained than people realize, because it very quickly can be confused by random background clutter. Just things like small rises and occasional brush can make it hard to pick out, say, three random people moving. Its not much good for hiding armies, but people vastly overstate the functional and reliable visibility of most area pretty severely.
This does not mean you can't get some extended archery exchanges outside of forests and mountainous terrain, but its not a given in all kinds of terrain. I wouldn't even count on it in farmland, and a lot of that clutter has been deliberately removed there.
This is starting to look really like Tetrasodium doing the thing he does a lot where he blames D&D 5e for the fact some players will push back sometimes and it doesn't give him a big enough club to hammer them down with.
