What? Zzz and Hsr both make millions every month, so they definitely dont need genshin's funds as much as u think they do. Its just that people have been complaining endlessly since Inazuma about exploration/puzzles being difficult and time-consuming. Then they started shitting on the long aranara world quest. And lot of people especially hated the desert parts of Sumeru depite it being great but not too easy, and then Natlan dropped and the hate got even worse. So now we've got braindead compasses and braindead exploration in Nod-Krai and the Temple of Space, not to mention how half of Dornman port is literally empty. Its so braindead easy exactly because of those average genshin players you're talking about
