Not your screen monkey (he/him)
How often do you see things like complications of shooting missiles into a fight do you see in the inspirational media? How often do you see wizards running out of spells and resorting to a crossbow or darts?The real problem is that WotC is afraid to penalize players for any action they want to take, either in character creation or in play. This just a symptom.
You see Legolas shooting in close quarters in LotR without hitting his companions. You see characters flinging around attacks in anime with extreme precision without hitting their companions. You see sorcerers like Dr. Strange constantly using spells even in a drawn out superhero fight in the comics without whipping out a crossbow.
So why should anyone be surprised when players want to play like the character they see in inspirational media?
