I think this is fine as a criticism of the survival-crafting genre games, they are not for everyone. Personally I never liked them, not because of the crafting but because of the sandbox style. I rather follow a long quest, a story or anything else than build a world from the emptiness. But once again that's fine, each to their own. Probably the Dragon Quest Builders games the only one I enjoyed because they are like a good mix of Minecraft but also having a long story quest and goals to follow. On the other hand the demand for these games still shows that the survival-crafting genre is still not 'done'. There is a huge market for them. Yet AAA studios for some reason don't want to touch them, most of these games are made by small studios and indies released in Early Access.
