I think it's only natural to think that way honestly. For many, it's fun to feel like they've maximized every "slot" on their characters - a productive use for every action/BA/reaction, every attunement slot filled, concentrating on something etc.

For example, on archery builds I'm constantly trying to figure out good uses for my reaction since I'm probably not going to be using OA or Ready very often.
Eh. The idea that building PCs is more impactful to the outcome than playing them already bothers me, so treating the action economy like a bingo card rubs me wrong.

Not like they can actually get opportunity cost right so the PC building mini game is not even all that interesting to begin with. Funny enough to was better with it was just the PHB with no optional rules.
