Ah, it sounds like you somehow got the perception that speedrunners think that’s how the game should be played, or that the existence of speedrunning comes with some kind of expectation that normal players are inferior for not attempting it. I think I’ve been there, can’t remember. I’ve definitely felt a similar way about challenge runs.
It’s just another way to have fun with the game, to keep it interesting after you’ve beaten all the content and familiarized yourself with the whole game. Sounds like it’s not your cup of tea, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Keep enjoying games the way you want to, and don’t let anyone make you feel less for not speedrunning.
