Looking over this thread, I think that while I generally agree with you, I love campaigns. I love weaving a long, intricate story together with my friends, and feeling like a world is established, and changed, by player agency. Not to mention a regularly scheduled time to hang with friends.
Like, I get you, 10 candles is amazing, and theres great one-shot stuff out there. But playing a quite a few campaigns and one-shots over the years, a well-run campaigns blows one-shots out of the water, at least in my opinion. But it does require a lot of commitment, and a lot else to go right, to actually get a full satisfying campaign, so I've definitely had more good one-shots that good campaigns.
