Unpopular Opinion: Why are people obsessed with seeds that spoon feed you items? via /r/Minecraft

Unpopular Opinion: Why are people obsessed with seeds that spoon feed you items?

Look, I'll probably get a lot of downvotes for this, but I seriously can't be the only one who hates seeing posts about "An amazing seed" when all it is is basically a few close villages, and a desert jungle temple or two. Oh, and easy access to the end portal. My only question with this is-what's the point!? If you're going to seriously enter a specific seed that gives you early access to decent items, next to a few decent villages, and near the end portal, then why are you even playing the game? Where's the fun, and adventure in it? If you want to make things easier for yourself, then why not just say screw it, and go play in creative mode? This isn't a rant, but just me explaining why this sort of thing simply baffles me. If this isn't allowed, please remove it. Thanks.

TL;DR: Why do people use specific seeds to easily obtain items early game, and take the fun, and adventure out of the game?
