To me a game is more immersive if it follows a reality yardstick.
For example, you had to sleep in Baldurs Gate or your stats would be affected. you also had to sleep to heal quicker. Sometimes it took days even weeks of resting to get back up to fitness.
Then it got changed with later games to just kneeling and resting for 5 seconds, then it got changed to now ingames like Skyrim, you don`t need to sleep at all for anything. All this because for some, the loudest whiners, sleeping was a pain, even though, the actual act of sleeping took about 5 secs real time. Technically it was as short as a pause, but more realistic. But that wasn`t enough.
With the advent of the greater push to make more money than sin and pleasing the most impatient babies, we are now left with the wan attitude of it`s `just a game, this isn`t realistic, so why make that realistic` argument, which suits companies and Devs fine as it means they do less for more money.
It leads to stupid dumbing down such as in Mass effect 3 where it got so bad that they stick 3 actions on one button to the point I rage quit in frustration and never touched it again. Games these days are an insult to the intelligent.
I am the `whiner` now, so Devs as much as they don`t care at least `hear` and see that some of us still want `realism`.
