I really don't see the problem... Strength doesn't necessarily means slow. In fact, stronger muscles can contract faster than weaker ones. Plus, it is easier to move your usually heavy weapon. This means that your attacks are going to be faster than they would be with a lower Strength score... and faster attacks = easier to hit.

Furthermore, the fact that using Dexterity to attack needs the feat Weapon Finess represents the fact that even with a high Dexterity score, you don't automatically become better to hit ennemies... You need at least a little bit of practice to learn how to use that Dexterity (which is what represents the feat) because it is not as instinctive as Strength to attack.

Or at least, that is my understanding of the rules...
