I think that's baked into the game from the beginning. It's a very simple game, but it was also designed as an answer to D&D, which at the time of OD&D when Melee and Wizard were first designed (much less so in new editions!) had many rules that were, in the immortal words of someone or other, not "unrealistic" but "anti-realistic" for no good reason at all. Such as movement speed being five seconds per foot in the original game.
