I agree with everything else you said ^^
STR does make you hit for more on normal hits, because it increases attack rating. It is not just about hits or miss. It is a shuffle bag, and you will pull bigger damage balls with higher attack rating (STR) compared to your target's ac. This also works by lowering the AC of the target.
