 triumphant over a virtual foe. Why should I care for the lessons of others
 when mine so often go unlearnt?

 play a Total War game and see one from above

 After a certain point you realize there's little to be done with that design
 space that Star Fox didn't do better!
 
 Also I think people tend to associate them with arcade "gun games" which are
 tbh more fun than clicking with a mouse or whatever since they're tactile and
 physical.
