D&D favors that kind of tactic- monsters operate at 100% until they drop dead, and they can usually withstand the damage output from several PCs before dropping.

Since 5e was already outselling older editions, and D&D had already influenced everything from video games, movies, and huge backlog of novels, I would argue it is still a cultural touchstone when ST came out.

I think you are misunderstanding the question. DMs are the ones who would buy books with setting details, but no player-facing mechanics. DMs are the ones who buy GURPS books, or research obscure topics like medieval beekeeping because they want to present it authentically. Players tend to...
