You make it sound as if it was an actual choice here. You think anyone goes up and says "naw, screw accuracy, I don't need that"?

Accuracy is as much of a choice as not using a weapon, or taking off a piece of gear. The only difference is, you're not guaranteed to be able to hit it, and that there is never a point where somehow upgrading isn't actually an upgrade, which is the case with accuracy. Which makes it frustrating.
