Why do people seem concerned about whether they‘re playing the game „the intended way“?

Ok I seriously have to ask at this point: why are there quite a few posts recently where people ask if something is the intended way of doing something or if something‘s unfair or cheating?

This is a game where you can adjust the gameplay experience almost entirely to your liking with tons of options to adjust in world settings. You can make this game as brutal and unforgiving or as chill and easy as you like (with some limitations like fixed droprates). Why do you think the devs give us the option for all of that? The devs have said themselves that their primary objective for creating this game was for people to have fun. So start having fun already and stop worrying if something‘s not right for you to do. If you have the option to do something in this game and it seems like it‘s fun for you then just do it. There‘s no jury judging you for how you decide to have fun in this game.

If you‘re having fun then you‘re playing this game right. If you don‘t think you‘re having fun then see if you can adjust your playstyle to have more fun (maybe even self imposed limitations). But overall nothing is unintended or unfair in this game if the developers give you the option to do it. It‘s entirely your personal preference.
