Every game you are playing (not every game system) has a setting in which the activities of the PCs take place. that's what is inseparable from the game to my mind.

Yup. Never came up as a negative in my games.

Well, I hope you get what you want, in your own games. I'm pretty happy with what I'm doing now, but if I see something someone's doing that I want to incorporate into my play, I'll let you know. It's happened before, so you never know.

True, but those things are part of the Living World I like to see in games I play too.

If there's one thing you want in a digital reference work, it's constantly being reminded how much more money they want from you.

For me, the second reason is only valid as a reason to skip a check in that instance if the first one is. Fiction or setting logic takes precedence over what would make for a better story (which is my interpretation of, "it would be much more interesting").
