Why don't people understand that people who hate "turn based games" do so in general not because they fundamentally hate turn based gameplay in principal, but because almost all existing turn based vidya just have garbage gameplay that is highly limited and tedious as all hell.
In general devs just make no attempt to move beyond this despite all the advances the industry has gone through. This isn't even a request that these games "get with the times" and become action game or whatever, but an honestly inquiry as to why turn based games simply don't bother to take advantage of the simple fact that they are turn based and the freedom this ought to bring. In spite of the fact that turn based games ought to let you do arbitrarily creative stuff that takes advantage of the environment just by default, and old school adventure games let you do tons of interesting shit in this vein (i.e. use x item on statue to make it fall over), its typical that this is either just not possible, or it otherwise only is in contrived situations where the game goes out of its way to highlight these limited possibilities for you.
And that's just the absolute minimum that I would expect of this style of game is order for it to be not just completely inferior to real time games (where such possibilities are much more commonplace). The actual potential for tactical creativity in turn based should far surpass what is possible in real time actions games, but nobody seems to demand this or really care.

I've come to terms with the reality that I do in fact, hate turn-based gameplay in principal.
Why the fuck do I have to wait for an arbitrary pause menu before I am allowed to hit my opponent. How is that ever good for gameplay. Especially now, when there are alternatives now that literally accomplish the same thing but allow you to move and attack freely.
I remember my first time playing a Souls game and realizing what the fuck was so wrong with turn-based gameplay all these years immediately, and the first thing that came to mind is 'damn, it's forcing me to attack/buff/heal in windows like a turn-based RPG, except it doesn't feel shitty'.
