This sounds a pretty arbitrary thing to complain about, given that most games do day/night cycles at different ratios (i.e. a full cycle may last 2, 4, 6 hours or more...) and in some cases it's even a customizable option. Also, NO, definitely not a fan of "make believe" mechanics where you decide in your head what matters and what not and there are hardly any real in-game consequences.
I mean, I find the desire to have a day/night cycle to be pretty arbitrary too. These are opinions. They're all arbitrary because they're based in our preferences and what we personally consider immersive or not.
