You played it as sarcasm, but i just left a thread where the OP mentioned:
-“The water always annoyed me why is it all fresh water it it leads out into the ocean doesn’t it?
Water should be salt water and require a campfire to boil it in a glass flask before consuming as for food remove the health benefits and add a chance for burnt food. Not all Barbarians are master cooks” (-Make survival harder)
So i think that there are those players, for the sake of RP, or something else, that wants things like this to happen.
I don’t think that this OP is wrong, though, i just think that this kind of gameplay wouldn’t fit the play style of this game…
