I can understand why those which may like blackjack may think the basic strategy is too restrictive as it basically tells you what to do each and every time, but at the end this is a matter of preference, as I suppose there are many gamblers out there which may like the challenge of using the basic strategy exactly as they should as they want to minimize the house edge they face, and in this way increase the amount of time they can gamble.
This is similar to what we see in video games, in which some players just want to get some fun, even if it is not the most efficient way to do things, while other players strive for perfection on each and every game.
This is why I only deposit what I can afford to lose when playing blackjack. I experience a frustrating loss before by following basic strategy. More upsetting is I didn’t enjoy the game because I missed opportunity to win if I didn’t follow the guide. This is what I’m talking about, it’s better to lose based on your own decision rather than lose using a guide that you have no control over the decision.
I recover my loss on sports betting since I can analyze each of my bet properly instead of playing blackjack with the aim for a perfect game that always lead to a disastrous lose on my side.
