It’s not an objectively bad idea. I can imagine a game dedicated to mundane activities like running a coffee shop, buying clothes, cooking meals, etc. Young kids are curious about this kind of thing.
But in a fantasy adventure game, it’s just a terrible, boring, and insulting concept. It’s a joke you might have at the table while playing a real adventure.
It is a sign that the wokerati are trying to destroy D&D? Possibly. Is it a test to see if Hasbro can build out D&D into new markets (kids, Harry Potter fans, and fans of magical reality)? Probably. Are these motivations mutually exclusive? No.
