Because it's boring to a number of people?

'Endless ocean of other fun things to do.'

You mean like doing content where winning is inevitable and the challenge is barely there? Or glamming it up and AFKing someplace to show off that glam?

I'm not at all an Ultimate raider, but I understand the drive to do something that you personally view as tough. It's basic human nature to push the body or mind to that point because it genuinely is thrilling.

Why do you think Dark Souls is popular?

Why do you think that games have 'Savage' difficulty levels implemented?

Not everyone wants monotonous, normal quality 'it takes less then thirty minutes' and 'everyone's a winner' content.
