If you're not paying, you're the product, etc, etc.
I did like Genshin Impact. But by and large, F2P games are just time-sucks that are trying to be money sucks. I want to say something about OP's comments on ethics in gamer consumerism, but... sigh :very-intelligent:
I don’t mind a time sink if it’s fun and I can do it with others
Sure. And that's definitely the line between good and bad games. Is what you're doing fun?
But Gacha games and other F2P models tend to make the game play either tedious or impossibly difficult past a certain level, in order to lead players into paying for power-ups.
I also enjoyed Genshin Impact
I never spent a dime on it and I had fun the whole time. It had strong Zelda vibes.

As far as the original post in general - I'd say it's just gaming and really not that serious
