I hate dice systems and character sheets.
Why? Simply put... it's a combo of being lazy and finding them really boring.
I don't want to contribute the time and attention one must dedicate to those sorts of things. I feel it rips me out of the narrative, creating this annoying bug I have to constantly shoo away as I'm already busy juggling character development and whatever else I'm writing. Sure, they can create a sense of order and fairness. And sure, they're only as limiting as your writing allows them to be (to a certain extent). But it's just not something I find that a care for at all.
Like the OP said, if I expressly wanted tabletop elements, I'd find a tabletop game to play. Not saying that's what I expect others to do, those are just my preferences.
