From personal experience, I prefer a high FPS and refresh rate for PvP games. But I definitely feel diminishing returns for perceived smoothness as I went from 60 Hz to 144 Hz to 240 Hz. For other games, as long as the frame rate is stable it's fine. I absolutely hate VSync for any game though. Input lag is gross.
People tend to equate ownership with protections. So they think "owning" land (e.g. property with a house) allows them safety from things like "other random people living too close to me".
Therefore, if they didn't own their property, another person might start cohabiting with them, steal from them, harm them, etc, and they would be powerless to prevent this scenario.
This isn't to say that this is correct, but this is the reality people have bought into. So even if they don't own their workplace, nobody technically "owning" the workplace feels less secure (to them) than if it were "owned".
Again, this is not my disposition, but one that I have come to understand many people hold.
Sometimes I'll make it to the kitchen and have to say to myself "Just start cooking anything. Anything! It doesn't have to be good and you don't have to eat it!"
If I manage to start cooking then I eventually do eat.
It's actually pretty well optimized... For loading times. My frame rate is very unstable and areas where you build a lot of stuff really suffer in the FPS department.
But fast travel loads you in basically instantly which is nice.
Humans are weird and UX wants the web app to behave how humans expect it to behave. That's how we got here. There's a whole host of reasons why manipulating browser history is awful, but here we are.
