>Because there's not a lot of strategy involved
Which still doesn't change the fact it is a strategy game. You still need to manage and upgrade your parties, claim resources, research spells and explore the maps. Likewise, thanks to the more in-depth scenario editor, you can see the map changing dynamically - spawning more units, changing party allegiances, even modifying the terrain (though not at a level Age of Wonders did it) - making the scenarios much more unpredictable and varied.
