Note: I'm not saying this to defend accuracy being gone, I'm also glad it's no longer there.

To answer your question, though, at least from the perspective of other RPGs, the idea as I've understood it wasn't that you couldn't necessarily hit something the side of a building as much as you couldn't effectively do so...similar to how if you were the size of a bee it might be pretty ineffective to hit something the size of a human if you did not do so in the right spot.

In D&D, a 'miss' might not be that you didn't hit the dragon that's as tall as a skyscraper as much as that maybe your swing just bounced off its scales and did no damage, etc.

In that perspective, accuracy could almost be seen as your ability to not only hit the giant thing, but also do so in a spot that will actually cause damage.
