@Kerosene it has to do with how they think hard work is rewarded and how you are entitled to a level up for putting in time. It's the mindset that began with the boomers. Those types frequently demand you take them seriously because they've "been here for thirty years sonny" even though they don't know shit.
So when someone infected with this pro-democratic commie mind virus makes or plays a video game they feel like if they aimlessly wander around the map they deserve to get something for it, which then naturally collapses the game space under the pressure of putting out content. If only a small fraction of players and devs even understand that it's cool to be good at something instead of just showing up, they will dish out the items and XP for nothing and they will tell you exactly what you need to do every time to "not be unfair" to you.
And it can also not be hard to do because that's also unfair. It can be grueling but it can't be hard to figure out. So hold F to remove the dog that is biting you instead of circlestrafing out of the way, and hold F to mine the minerals and hold F to open the door and hold F to uhh... Does not matter at this point here are 45000 XP!
