I’ve noticed this.

Anime can do stuff the media being adapted cannot. And it’s exception rather than the rule, when a studio uses animation to push past the source material.

I’ve started being surprised when an anime is original, instead of an adaptation. And there is absolutely a difference when a story is made for animation.

I think you perfectly put into words why I don’t enjoy watching adaptations of manga/LNs that I’ve read. Baring some exceptions, I always feel like the adaptation doesn’t really add much compared to the source material and in many cases it detracts from it, skipping scenes for the sake of pacing or just being badly animated because of budget/timing constrains.
