In D&D, players’ turns in combat are actually happening simultaneously, there’s just no good way to represent that while at the same time letting players take their turns one-by-one.

In the tabletop version, you could coordinate with your DM to synchronize your actions, but in a video game it’s a lot harder to manage all the things that players could want to do.
