I agree. I want the resume to be bullet lists but the cover letter to explain why they are a match.
I also see it as a filter on effort. If the applicant doesn’t care enough to make sure I know why they are a good fit, do they really care about the job?
In my experience, only checking off checkboxes rarely leads to the correct match.
