NL is more exciting to observe than PLO is. NL allows for a lot more creative process, pure bluffing, and creative lines. In PLO you're locked into certain lines and sizings and you'll virtually never run pure multi street bluffs. All this simply because if you deviate largely from "good 101 play" in PLO you get destroyed, while in NL there's pretty crazy shenanginas to be had.
It really is off topic, but this difference is exacerbated the higher the level of play gets. You almost never see a HSPLO hand where you go like "wtf was that?" and it's almost standard to see bat**** crazy stuff in HSNL hands. In PLO the craziest thing you'll ever see is someone check/jamming 2pair on a paired river to rep a boat...
edit: I mean, I just now opened up the HS thread in this section and this is literally the latest post. What is the equivalent to this in PLO? It doesn't exist, and this hand isn't even anything rare
