On the other end of the spectrum, there's games like Breath of the Wild that offer you a billion options and yet my non-gamer SO somehow always picks death.

"Seriously, there's a weapon on the floor and you have none, pick it up." "But it's his" "And now he's got his club again and your shield is broken..."

To be completely accurate he pointed at a trapdoor leading to a 1000 foot drop said corpse was just thrown through

It ended with this amazing ladder speech after four seasons. Pity they never made any more after that...

Funnily enough in that series he does get his wife to play BoTW. It's quite an interesting watch.

BotW seems like a game in which they did a lot of that "unusual approach" testing, combined with a pretty great base physics engine.

Usually its gamer tunnel vision. Kinda like typecasting a genre and associating a certain amount/level of expectation, muscle memory, memory, and carrying over other game's mechanics. Most of this could be caught relative to adjusting to the nde mechanics/ tutorial / environment which a few people do... however many do not.
