Nah, there are countless roads to different game style preferences. Sandbox games without constraints can be a nice escape from a life that feels especially regimented, even if you only get to play in them here and there; or they can just be a fun game style that you ran into at the right and that stays interesting through nostalgia and accessible through familiarity; etc. Conversely, goal-oriented games can just feel like "work" to someone who feels like their life involves a countless measurements and expectations, or just like intellectual labor to someone who is learning all the time; etc As they say, it's really very hard to account for taste. It's usually not worth trying to analyze it for anyone but yourself (and only then if it helps you to do so).
