That prioritization works fine for hunters, who want to take the most accurate shots as possible, while putting as few bullets in their prey as possible.
AR style weapons have the stock in line with the barrel, so that the recoil goes straight back and the shooter can keep their weapon relatively on target while pouring out as money bullets as possible. That's only useful for hunting people.

You are not wrong. They are weapons made for war. They are not made for fine accuracy or for preserving meat for food.
