The actual reason is that strength and dexterity are opposite ends of a sliding scale, for all practical purposes. Physiologically, it takes a lot of energy to rein in musculature that can pop a man's head off his shoulders with a swipe, if you want it to also be able to build small tools and pick through stuff for foraging purposes. Cats are agile while moving their whole body, but clumsy when batting stuff around with their paws. You stay away from tigers because they can fuck you up even while trying to be friendly with you.
Much of an animal's strength comes down to where muscles attach to bone. You either put it in one place and have massive leverage, or you put it in another and have fine control.
