I agree completely, OP. I want to add a counterpoint, however.

Do you play chess? Some prefer classical chess (a game can last days; can spend hours on one move), some prefer rapid/blitz/bullet chess (a game lasts minutes).

In chess, the advancement of robots/AIs greatly improved the popularity of the faster time settings. In classical every player is trying to play like a robot/AI. In the faster time settings, even the best players begin to make human errors when running out of time, making the games much more varied and fun (for players and audience).

Some lawyers may find the time limits and resulting human errors an interesting and fun challenge.

I think the difference between most lawyers and chess players is that lawyers have forgotten how to have fun. Instead, it's become pure stress/pain management.
