Chorefication design
Here's my take: we are getting devs in the industry that grew up playing free to play gacha games and now they are implement that in the gameplay loop of single player games, because they don't know what to do otherwise lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5v93OTqk7g

We may joke, but I knew a guy who was one of those Xbox Fifa-only players that wanted to get into Game Dev. I don't doubt for a second that there are people getting into gaming dev that barely play single player games.
There's more each year, since game dev now is just another field for people to get a job after university, so these people will just fill the game to the brim with whatever and call it "a job well done".
