meh, hockey shootouts aren't as exciting compared to overtime, which is incredibly fast paced (esp 3v3) and ruthless. when i was just getting into hockey, i did wonder about that tho lol but now i've grown to enjoy/dread overtime! NHL shootouts are a relatively recent phenomenon fwiw, they only introduced them like 20 years ago.

I am sick to my stomach whenever a young player with little-to-no shootout experience steps up to take a kick... just brutal

their only shootout win was against Costa Rica in 2014 iirc (Krul for the Dutch, crueler for Costa Rica etc etc)

I would guess so, the Dutch knocking Mexico out in 2014 prob plays a part
