Nobody wants long rest limitations. Not really. It's an illusion we are wanting. The last thing anyone wants is to be playing the game and you need to long rest and you can't. That sucks. You have to reload from some super far back save point because you ran out of camp supplies or whatever and you're stuck. Or worse, you are stuck, need to long rest, and random encounters are constantly triggered and you have to reload over and over until you successfully long rest. None of that is fun.
Yeah, unless off course there's a decent autosave functionality that works properly which autosaves before each encounter and before any story/event trigger. But yeah sure, without any autosave option restrictions and having to try a difficult part again because you failed sucks big time if you forget to save frequently and keep chapter or other important saves.
