Not even remotely the same! The DM here is merely describing that the door is locked and if the character wishes to open it, there are...

I suppose that’s what makes it linear? But again, a linear game that a player cooperates with and plays along will essentially have the...

While I don't think it's rare... I mean, Paizo has built their entire business around it... there are plenty of times where it may make...

Well, if the GM alters reality, I may be annoyed by that. The setting and world should be reasonably consistent. This is why I think it...
