Yeah, sorry, but using arguments that way doesn't work. Everything you wrote is your opinion, and that opinion is completely valid. I have played the game, I have played Summertime Saga, and I have played House Chores from the start of development. so now we are both equal on terms of discussing our arguments. I don't think they are wasting the game, I don't think they rush things too quickly, and I like that there are games like these were the tempo seems a bit higher. To me there are plenty of games that take ages, have a lot of features, etc.
Would I mind another one of those games with this art, or would I mind this game having all the features you describe? Absolutely not.
Do I like House Chores the way it is now? Yes. Are they therefore wasting things in my view? Absolutely not.
I respect your view, and I get where you are coming from, but you write in a way where you make it seem like your conclusions are based in facts, and they are not. You write about how quick the game goes by, and that therefore it could be better. But that's all an opinion, and you would prefer it if the game were something more than it is. Others might not share that opinion, and by the looks of it, neither does the Dev at this moment. And you know what, that's sad for you, but it is what it is.
That said, I hope you can at least enjoy the game a bit still
