Mcdonalds is a daycare because it has a playground.
5E is a roleplay focused game, but only in that anytime I run it, I have one or two folks come to the game with a pre-made blorbo they insist on using despite it not fitting the setting or tone of the campaign the group agreed on. They got that role figured out and they'll be damned if the game or anyone else gets in the way of playing it!
Oh I feel that. It's always a bummer when you tell players what kinda tone and setting you're going for and they just don't buy in at all.
Before it collapsed, the last 5e game I ran included someone who came with a character he'd made and tried to run in two previous games he'd played in. Everyone else at the table eventually found ways to hook their characters into the story and setting, even the one who asked to play an anthropomorphic red panda, but not this guy. It was exasperating.
