I bought this game for a small price in a fancy sale, and then remembered why I loathe D&D based CRPG systems.

What is the reasoning behind this AC system or armor dex limits when such things as the above exist? I feel like D&D's original AC formulation and armor dex caps wasn't formulated with the kind of bullshit itemization in these CRPGs.
I gathered that the thing to do is drop armor completely and dip one class point into monk for wisdom or CHA modifier bonus, then wear +8 armor clothes if you want high late game AC?
Why deal with the malus to arcane cast or armor check penalty when such things exist?
Does anyone know of an actual CRPG fantasy combat roleplaying system that makes sense from a roleplaying standpoint? I don't think I can stomach D&D version 5, although I find 3.5 tolerable, if not palatable. I'm not sure if I can tolerate playing a cloth armor character. Similarly I don't know whether to laugh when reviewing the amount of medium armors in BG3 wiki that have no dex limit, combined with the fact that dex doubles as strength with finesse weapons, or that multiclassing or double dipping exists.
