The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favor the gambler because they might break the house when he hits their stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally distributed between the dealer and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
