I wonder if this is all about perceived notions

 

I think some see historical games as players pushing 100’s of figures slowly across the table replicating exactly what happened in an actual battles. Of course this is not what happens in reality

Again as perceived notions some see fantasy and science  games as players using a few very expensive models, making  sure their army is list perfected to make that killer army that they want  then rolling lots of D6 to see whose won without the bother of having to use tactics  Of course this is not what happens in reality

 

So maybe the answer is to broaden your horizons from  whatever you enjoy playing. Have a go at historical skirmish or 6mm sci-fi or something you would never consider. You might enjoy it*
