If you start using an extendible tool like Emacs for something and put in the effort to learn it's key bindings, how it works, it's language if it has one etc it becomes increasingly annoying and a chore to use other software.
You either start trying to cram every possible task into that tool or try to find other software that was developed specifically for users of that tool (eg: Nyxt and Qutebrowser).
It feels like a very natural thing to do at the time even if it sometimes results in subpar results like what you're describing. I've personally declared "Emacs bankruptcy" multiple times and even go through periods of completely changing workflows if I get annoyed enough.
