I don't care myself, but my understanding is that other people are mystified by your game-playing use-case. Maybe if you clarified what you are doing it might satisfy peoples' curiosity.
My take on it is that you are playing simple browser games, rather than big PVP First Person Shooters. There is value to be gained in terms of frame-rate and mouse response times when you are playing a PVP game which is stored locally as opposed to playing it on a streaming service like Stadia, where the streaming causes some slow-down in the response.
The browser based games that I play are Destiny 2, The Division 2, surviv.io, tetr.io, Super Bomberman R Online, Piepacker (various games) and Animal Royale.
I find no benefit to me as a consumer or gamer to be installing ONLINE ONLY MP only games. I do a lot of DM in Destiny 2 and have not had an issue with slow downs and response issues but I hear that can be a thing for many people.
Prior to all of this I just stayed away from ONLINE ONLY MP games. I gave them a shot when more and more PVP/CO-OP games came out for the browser.
If I can't play it offline, I don't want it on my HD.
