Yoko Taro said the reason for the multiple routes and endings in NieR: Automata was due to budget constraints from Square Enix! (2023 Interview)
“The route system was, well, that was a product of our budget from Square Enix. We couldn’t really make all that much content so we had to reuse it over and over again. I mean, the players had paid for a full-price game. So, fundamentally, the reason for forcing replays was extending the play time.
But if we’re going to make them replay it, I didn’t want it to be exactly the same and just raise the difficulty or something. So what if we changed the story a little? That was the kind of the thinking there. But if Square Enix had given us a ton of money we wouldn’t have done the route system at all…
Please don’t praise it too highly, or Square Enix will start getting ideas. and then they’ll cut our budgets again…”

Totally unnatural work flow. The gentleman in this video clearly has no idea how the elderly (as he references, "Grandma") use technology.
Here is a more realistic approach.
1. Grandma notices font is too small. She has a difficult time seeing and/or reading the text.
2. Grandma incorrectly asserts Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and Founder of Facebook (now Meta) has developed this computer and blames him for defaulting to such small font. "Ugh, that idiot Zuckerforge* makes the text too damn small. Nobody can see this!"
3. Grandma picks up the laptop and places the camera directly up to her mouth and says, "Alexis, make the font big". When nothing happens she raises her voice, "ALEXIS, MAKE THE FONT BIG". Alexis doesn't respond.
4. Grandma, becoming increasing frustrated, remembers that Alexis is for Amazon, not Microsoft, so she corrects herself. "Siri, make the font big, please". She anxiously waits for a reply but nothing happens again. "SIRI MAKE THE FONT BIG". Siri ignores her pleas.
5. Grandma, exhausting all options, decides to call her children and/or grandchildren for assistance. The conversation begins discussing technology but quickly derails into something else such as the weather, sports, trivia, or (most likely) family gossip.
6. Grandma concludes her troubleshooting by calling Mark Zuckerforge a "stupid Italian" (she falsely believes he's Italian) and decides to stop using the device. Grandma is deeply prejudice to Italians because of an argument she got into with an Italian couple in 1973
