People who don't like tactics shouldn't play D&D. They should play fun and cool games like Monster of the Week or Blades in the Dark. D&D is a wargame first. Tactics are part of the fantasy for D&D, especially if you have a warlord in the party. Why didn't they put the warlord in 5E? It was an awesome class.

100%. D&D's main things are tactics and resource management.

But D&D is the mega popular brand that people know, and they often don't want to learn something else. Even if they don't actually know D&D's rules.

I personally like Fate a lot for a simpler ruleset that's actually flexible and generic. I've been running a Fate game for about 20 sessions and it's been fun, even though the players don't always remember to spend fate points for story details.
