Yeah no **** I don't grasp that difference, I've been playing for a decade and still enjoy the game so much I can't successfully force myself to take a "free" day. Some/most recs are miserable at the tables. My father started playing micros during the quarantine and he keeps bitching and complaining (and then playing some more).
I would also argue that regs are far less attached to the results. We need to be to survive. God knows I've been owned and humiliated so many times I'd kill myself if I still gave a ****. Recreational players are the ones who need to prove something.
Quit the charade, you just want the games to be such that you can suck at poker and still win. Which is fine. But that's also irrelevant to the topic at hand. Unless you enjoy losing to the rake instead of a reg, GG is not the place to be. And it does not make a crusade against regs in any way commendable, or beneficial to anyone or anything besides GG's shortterm profits.
Poker is popular because it is hard, because it is demanding, because it is a challenge. If you change the rules to kill the edges, BJ becomes way more fun.
fwiw I'm all for systemic changes to make life as difficult as possible for bumhunters. I'm against randomly picking winners and banning them.
