Different strokes for different folks. And I'd be very careful about using assumptions of "what DnD was designed for" as a guide for how everyone ought to play now. To quote Terry Pratchett by way of Captain Carrot, "Gold and muck come out of the same shaft." It's more important to understand what kinds of fun your game can deliver on, and how, so that you can tune it for the maximum enjoyment of your table, than it is to determine in the abstract how it "should" be played.

Right. I correct: It’s not what 5e is best used for.

For the rest: That’s what I’m saying. From what I picked up (personal opinion) people really don’t like it when they don’t know what’s going on. But each their own. If your table is happy with it, go for it. I’m just advising against using it as a general rule, because some people don’t have much fun when the game goes this way.
