Why the hell are these so popular

I don't get it. You arrive, you go around, you shoot, then you die after some minutes. If you are lucky enough you win... Why so popular?

its just like any other game its fun for entertainment, competitiveness, and fun to play with friends. These games take skill during late game but is also luck base because of rng start of the game. But they do have a huge skill gap, if you practice more than others you could dominate your competition.

I hate these and don't understand why they are so popular. It changed everything in gaming. But it's Minecraft origins were the best.
