It means something, I guess you just cannot understand what that is. They are slowing down gameplay, you say it means nothing, well you are wrong. Those couple minutes that you stop and build a fire and sit down to get rested every 10 minutes or so, all your food is still ticking away. So now you have to eat more food for the same amount of time you're actually "playing". Now you have to spend more time farming and raising animals and foraging, now you are spending more time standing in front of the cauldron making food, more time in front of the ovens baking those foods. It's all about increasing the grind, it really isn't that hard to see if you take a step back and stop assuming everything these devs do is gold.
