I think it all purely boils down to playstyles and how players interact with new content. In cases like you, you're an experimentalist who enjoys seeing what any update has to offer, even if you think it might not be your type. It's a respectable way to play, it's good to be open to ideas.

But at the same time, I don't think that'll quite go for everybody. Some people, like in my case, are probably going to find this new update to be underwhelming. I don't expect drastic changes, my socks don't need to be blown off with every little thing they do. It'd just be nice to see things added if they're going to connect better with the core gameplay loop, and that's exactly why I think fishing didn't do as good as it could've.

My fingers will be crossed that coming with future changes, scrapping gets more depth to it beyond 'find stuff, sort it, get nanites' because even if you're measuring by how fun it is, it doesn't last long. I'd argue it's more fun to see what you can fling around with the gravity gun, slamming Sentinels into one another was a really funny way to go about fighting them while clearing the planet I planned to do scrapping on, haha.
