Well, there’s no reason why the DM couldn’t hold the character sheets and you only perceive that your character is good at certain things from your choices and their outcome in the scenario (but you could be wildly wrong). In real life you don’t know exactly how many charisma points you have.

True, but you do learn what you're good at and what you're not. You don't play as a child or teen still learning their place, though you could, but generally that's not what's done. People generally have a decent grasp on their capabilities, though they can surprise themselves it's rarely orders of magnitude out like it would not having a sheet.
