My favorite aspect of this game is that it’s not actually a game, and more like a zen garden. Adding more game elements would ruin that aspect.

There is no reason, why you cannot have both.

There is: developer time and focus. Not everything needs to be gamified and have "player retention", etc.

The context was that the parent poster was afraid of "Adding more game elements would ruin that aspect."

My point was that it is quite trivial (and useful) to seperate the sandbox from the gamification.
