People find different things fun. Some enjoy finding efficiencies, optimizations, and playing "the numbers". Its not for everyone, but is still a valid avenue for fun that many enjoy.

But by doing all that, you lose the aesthetic enjoyment of the game…

As Cortana once said, she knows mathematically what a sun looks like, but not what it REALLY looks like.

meaning...?
What does this have to do with player investment systems anyway? It sounds to me like it's part of the RPG mechanics. I don't know, maybe I'm forgetting or not seeing how it's both, or I'm just wrong.
