You do you. If a theme of industrial growth just doesn't fit with what you can enjoy, it's no one's business to say you're wrong for that.

That being said, if the game otherwise appeals to you it might be worth checking out the demo to validate your feelings, at least regarding factorio. There just really isn't anything else out there like it, so it's worth it to be sure.

I've heard shapez2 does a decent job coming close to it, and I think it's just an infinite abstract plane of shapes and color.
