I don't find the logical link of your statement about the idiocy of the 2010s.
It is from the 'stone age of video games (or the first DOOM, if you will), which is known that the First Person Shooters (FPS), have a sense of existence, only if accompanied by mouse and keyboard.
Simple logical observation, simple pragmatic ergonomics, simple psycho-physical balance.
The fov is one of many filters, for example, the motion blur makes me sick to my stomach. (in addition to being completely illogical as a filter, since my eyes already think about blurring the scene and focus a subject, the filter is also unnecessarily heavy for the calculation of a gpu) and;
in any case, you have not yet tried my filters, otherwise you would not have answered with your stomach. (and your emoji-facepalm)
As you can see, I also try to help, but with experience. (and I am not fov-claustrophobic)
PS: And for my (illnesses?) mental insecurities, I go to a good specialist, I don't foolishly blame a video game.
Note: some naive (or stupid?) users, don't even know what a config is, let alone a filter, so I suggest you don't waste time on trolls. (if you are a discerning person)
