I've had this debate with people when they ask me about Factorio. I always tell them "I don't know if I would call it fun, per se" which usually ends up with "well, why are you playing it then?" Factorio is satisfying to me. I'll take that over any kind of designed-by-committee Skinner box full of dark patterns to try and separate me from my money.
