“The dealer must continue to take cards until the total is 17 or more, at which point the dealer must stand”.
It seem too risk for the dealer, am I wrong?

That about the optimal strategy given no knowledge of the deck. If you were to “hit” on 17, you have the options of getting ace-4 and not busting. 5/13 cards is less than a 40% chance of not busting. It is too risky to hit, it’s less risky to stay.
Because the players play first, the dealer wins every time the players bust, while the players always have to be lucky to win (excluding card counting).
Plus, giving the dealer express instructions for every value they have keeps the dealer from being an unknown variable.
