I genuinely don't get the appeal of Stardew Valley, is it for lonely people?

Really.

The farming system is fricking garbage. It's mobile game tier, having an ENERGY bar in a non online game? Like, what? to punish me for PLAYING? I can't fish, mine, farm, clean, etc. all in a single day?

The town is alive and comfy and at the same time empty and devoid of any actual interaction. Considering how little the game weights, npcs should have 9999999 more lines so you never get bored from interacting with them.

Instead they all have the same boring routines in the same boring village, nothing new or eventful ever happens, ah, of course, except for the events, who are the same EVERY SINGLE YEAR, so you finish a single year in the game and you have ZERO chance to keep playing.

And the cherry on the cake is that nobody seems to care about any of this. Nobody cares about gameplay, setting, or anything. It's like the only people who care for it, are lonely losers using it as a dating sim, despite the fact their dating sim has like 3 lines of dialogue.
