Hard question time anon.

Are we glorifying boardgames because bg time is never enough? Rarely anyone I have read of, even people working full time in the boardgame industry plays as often as they'd like. Is the constant scarcity the magic sauce and a lot of great games would lose its lustre when played as often as we'd like?

You don't really see people 'addicted' to playing boardgames either, that's more on the consumerism side of the hobby.
