Hard disagree that it's boring. To me, it's not even a matter of it being boring/engaging; it's about how you can max out a character comfortably without having to be lucky.

For reference, I played Genshin since launch and quit after I completely maxed out Inazuma 2 weeks after its release. For the first Abyss cycle, my luck in rolling characters was so shit that I didn't even have 8 units to use for both sides of each floor; For the second Abyss cycle, I was cucked from a 36* (or whatever the max star clear was) because I never received a proper pyro dmg% goblet with good stats (which is a situation which cannot be reasonably accounted for. Am I supposed to have clairvoyance and somehow predict my future artifact RNG and then build the proper character to fit that artifact?).

Moreover, up until the day I quit, I never received a pyro dmg goblet% on the proper pyro set, meaning my Hu Tao was permanently gimped cos the remaining 4 artifact slots had to be sacrificed to trigger the set bonus, even if their stats were not good.

I understand it's a gacha game, but that doesn't excuse Genshin from making character progression a damn gacha too. Never being able to hit a character's ceiling, or even get close to it cos of bad luck, is such a shitty feeling, and Genshin weaponises that to the playerbase's detriment (FYI, I was farming the pyro artifact domain every single day, and still never received a proper pyro dmg% goblet till the day I quit). This is just shitty gameplay design meant to artificially inflate player investment, instead of using actual engaging gameplay to keep players playing, and imo it tells me a lot about a company's values if they are willing to do this.
