There are many different playing patterns out there.

Some people burn through content and don't come back until the next major content update. I know some people like that, and personally have done something like that before. (Quit partway through 2.2 and came back at the cusp of 2.3)

Some people do want time to play other games. I burnt through some of my steam backlog during my hiatus.
