Do you like or dislike that rainworlds lore is largely up to interpretation

This is something I've always found really interesting about the game and the community. In other communities people would be at each others throats about what version of the lore is right, but in this one I've found people usually have actual debates which got me wondering. How many people like interpreting the lore?

One of the issues I've seen a lot about DAWTDE is how its unreasonable, has many plot holes, and tells us too much that was left hidden in FAWTDE. However, I believe all of this is the entire point.

You see, the series was heavily inspired by the 1895 book, The King In Yellow. This book was about a cult who worshiped TKIY, and a play. This play had two parts, Act 1, and Act 2. Act 1 acted as a lure, to drive the the watcher in further. Act 2, drove them insane by giving them universal knowledge, and showing them things they shouldn't be able to see. The whole series (its 9 books in 1 with some poems), ends in a romance. Moving from fear to a more light tone.

Now this is pretty much exactly how the series itself went down. FAWTDE hooked viewers, made them want more, leaving them asking more. And then when DAWTDE told them everything there was to know about this world, it upset them, and made them happy at the same time. On one hand, they know the truth now, but on the other there is no mystery any more. There's plot holes where there shouldn't be there's voice acting where there shouldn't be, the entire thing makes no sense, but its not suppose to. Its suppose to drive you mad, because now you know everything, with nothing left to learn.

There was one called cliff which could upgrade into barracks i think. Some structures could make tanks, some could make planes. And a missile silo would disable these structures. It had an in game chat and I think you could ally with people.
