The point is: different people have different preferences. You want to maximize conversation and minimize dice. Great. Have at it. Others want to minimize conversation and maximize dice. That's not weird or wrong or bad...it's just not your preference. BTW, the preferences thing also applies to the way we think and what we find odd, weird, hard, or easy. Something that's easy for you to grok is impossible from someone else; something that's easy for them to grok is impossible for you.
I think turning an RPG into a small-circle community improv theater without dice is weird. You seem to think it's the only and best way to play. I think it's weird that people would even care about RAW and not run everything as rules light / near free-form as you possibly could to avoid the headache of RAW...and to others the mere thought of that is akin to blasphemy. Fair enough. To each their own.
Neither is wrong; neither is right. I think it's the main obstacle to having these conversations. Everyone is so convinced they're right and their way is the only right, just, and perfect way that they cannot fathom others have different preferences or styles.
