Not in my experience. In my experience it is basically unheard of.
Yes. But that is not hard. And certainly everyone here knows how to do it, so why not do it in D&D as well. I don't get it.
Like if people intentionally played D&D in in dumb way so that they can blame it for being a bad game.
Well, no, not really. You just do it.
Well, considering how many of the endless posts on subreddits; comments from the players in my games who are in others; and lots of testimonials here show that a) its rare and b) it's hard, maybe you're not entirely correct about it being common and easy? Otherwise why would there be so much advice bandied about on how to do good session 0s and char creation....
