It's a loaded a question. You assume people hate grind.
Then I must ask you, why does everyone grind then? They grind in RL for riches and fame. They grind in games for wealth and status. My dad used to pridefully tell me how he would work 70 hour weeks at the cannery, doing the same thing all day. He boasted he could move fish faster than anyone else.
So don't tell me grinding is something new or people hate it. They love it. If they didn't, there wouldn't be so much of it everywhere. It's everywhere. I think people like it because it's predictable.
Just look at school. Most of school is learning about things you don't want to learn about. If that's not a grind, wth is. Sit down with a book, grind the pages and write down the answers. And work. It's the same thing for 30 years of your life or more. Day in and day out. If everyone does their part well, it's like watching the same movie over and over again. Accidents and disasters do add some spontaneity to it.
There's a reason games have so much grinding. If you're puzzling over it, still struggling with trying to figure it out, then welcome to the funny farm. Get your head looked at. Grinding is life.
