There a saying"optimise out the fun".
Maybe some people think optimization is fun?
The two aren't contradictory. I enjoy optimisation, but sometimes that optimisation can lead to unfun gameplay. If the best way to play PoE was to sit in the hideout and click a button non-stop that'd be unfun, even if optimal. That has happened in the past.
Hideout crafting is the most profitable thing in PoE... people dont do it cause its boring
There's also a knowledge gap for the majority of players.
Crafting tends to be profitable because demand is high and the amount of profit crafters is sufficient to not flood the market.
Profit crafters will know what items are in demand for the meta and how to craft them, and properly adjust as people move onto new builds.
A lot of times when a major streamer posts a crafting guide for an item for their build it usually crashes the market, driving up the cost of the materials/bases and dumping all the crafts on the market.
Flipping is also one of the most efficient ways to generate currency, people rarely do that either. The knowledge gap is far smaller there
is the most profitable but not the most efficient thing to do
Oh its super efficient I could log in. Craft a bunch and log out. Making 500div in a couple mins
It's is fun, but after you optimise the strategy, you will do the chores of doing the farming.
I’m actually really enjoying having this level of access to the league mechanic. I don’t think it’s a really long lasting experience, but from now until the inevitable hotfix I’m having a good time.

I believe that quote originates from a game designer, either the MTG lead or Civilization.
I could go into more detail, but what's the point? If somebody want to learn about this in more detail, there are a ton of sources you can check, and I only do game design as a hobby.
