People continue to defend their design choice even though "uh aktually you could prevent bad thing from happening by not continuing" has never worked for other media. Imagine people saying this shit for a novel. If it's not a real choice, then whatever you do to continue the game is functionally the same as turning the pages of a novel. It's whatever set of mechanical motion that is needed to advance progress in consuming the media.
