Indeed. But on the other hand, the thing at risk is the player's time, and only the player can manage it appropriately. A game that doesn't respect that can quickly become a chore.
It's a balancing act, artistic choice and such. Also depending on the company, it might be designed to increase engagement to keep you addicted
Perhaps, but that can just as easily backfire. A game that disrespects my time earns my contempt, both for it and for the people who made it.
For example, I returned Red Dead Redemption 2 and now avoid Rockstar games, in part for this reason.
