    I think you might be loading the word with more impact than it's really being used with then.

    It's forced as in "a cause and effect of interacting with the game features" not as in "SE has sent an agent to my house and held me at gunpoint to press the 'amputate tail' button

    It's think it's a combo of that and it just made me wonder "well then what isn't forced?". I guess buying a house isn't forced. But lots of other things in the game fall under this definition of "force".

    That doesn't in any way make the feedback invalid or even weaker. It just feels almost distracting and redundant to say. For example

    "The job transformations are a horrible concept and should be optional."
    "The forced job transformations are a horrible concept and should be optional."

    Both things communicate the same thing, but one makes it worse by adding in this word. That's how it seems to me.
