what the fuck, I'm willing to bet Hoyo never openly said this.

If I'm not mistaken, a skip button is prevented from existing in gacha games because of the potential for the games to be automated in the same way that MMO's are, leading to a black market economy of reselling accounts with good characters on them.

This black market exists anyway, you'll never get rid of it, but by putting a substantial amount of unskippable cutscenes ahead of the ability to get a significant amount of freemium currency, you significantly curtail the efficiency of the operations as also discourage the still rampant "account rerollers" by making rerolling your account a lengthier process.

why did Phainon flop?

Genshin has implemented a secondary pity system for those who lose pity continually. It's a complicated system to understand but basically if you lose 2 in a row your third is now a 75% chance and then the fourth is a 100% guarantee.

Mathematically this raised pull rates from 52% to 58%, but it took about 4 banners for this to be noticeable on the aggregate data. If ZZZ was to implement a similar system it would pull their pull rate above 60% which would make a few heads roll
