And they are also very weak, due to their large body mass.
After all, the damage is also reduced by an average of 85%, given these circumstances. There is no armor, and the plate armor weighs an additional 15-20 kg, and that's also a factor. I won't even mention paladins.
It's not that easy to break a bare bone, believe me, as a rural butcher. It certainly won't work with a sword strike.
As a rule, in battles, victory over the enemy comes only after "cutting" or "piercing" the enemy, when he can no longer fight due to a deep wound and damage to internal organs, and not from breaking one or more bones. In a battle with a skeleton, we can only win by breaking the bony armor with a sword. And not every swordsman is capable of that.
And if the joints between the bones are replaced with powerful clots of dark energy...

No, of course, "two-handed crushing epic" weapons handle this well, but skeletons are practically invulnerable to arrows, swords, spears, sabers, daggers, axes, pistols, machine guns, etc.
I repeat - breaking a skeleton with a powerful punch or enchanted pitchfork of a peasant is a common mistake.
You can defeat such a dragon with a lucky strike from a Mace or a shot from a Rocket Launcher; the dragon's flame should also handle this task well. But it's even easier to defeat an ordinary unit, isn't it?
