Monopoly is, by design, brutal, mean, and not fun.
That it somehow became popular entertainment anyway is...well, I’m not sure what it is. But something.

If they're playing for six hours after other people have been eliminated, either they're also casuals or they have house rules that are keeping money in the economy.
As a kid I would get knocked out super quick by my uncle, who would then typically have a 6 hour non-stop Monopoly throwdown with my mother after they eliminate the casuals.
Everyone else who played would get their feelings hurt but those two were absolutely brutal with each other and loved it.
