It's trying to be a particular type of game. Socializing is a very small part of 5e's mechanical weight, and that's fine. I will say just generally in my games, most players try to leave interacting with the world in certain ways to the player that's best at it. That's how the concept of the party face happened in the first place. Is that a good thing? I dunno, but that's a bigger discussion that would involve reworking the 6-stat system entirely. As 5e is currently written and, largely, played, the Bard, Sorcerer, or Warlock is going to be the one most often interacting mechanically with the social pillar.</blockquote>
