xplane is built for a certain use case, and that's real simulation, their real paying customers are using it to actually learn how to fly.
people using it for other purposes may be more in number, but focusing the product on their use case would dilute the intended product, and they don't actually pay the pro pricing
it's not optimizing for an aspirational use case, the product is for this very niche use case. letting other people use it for fun is just a bonus.
If you want a flight sim that maximizes fun, there are other options.

That is what I hope for. We need more not less options. Hope that niche survive. But would it migrate out so not facing normal consumers I wonder one day.
