Unless you're the personification of Blizzard's MAU numbers there's no reason why YOU should care when and how much those people play.
If a game makes you feel bad because you didn't go out of your way to play it enough then that is shitty, predatory game design. You're literally being punished simply for not participating at a particular time. It's a tactic that's meant to maintain the current playerbase through FOMO, though at the same time it makes it harder and harder to keep new or returning players. Why should anyone start playing this game if from the get go they know that there are things they're permanently barred from acquiring and if they ever decide to take a break they might miss out on even more?
