Your explanation also makes sense. Why then do casinos prefer sharp edges? Casinos strive to remove skill as much as possible.

Casinos account for this. In craps, you are expected to throw the dice such that they hit and bounce off of the farthest wall at the opposite end of the table. They may allow a roll that made it past the mid point if you just flubbed it. A short roll will not count. Dice must also be thrown and must tumble, they can't slide.

They stop sooner so more rolls per hour. House edge locks in as rolls count increases.
