I think it comes down to different approaches to writing. One is to only keep what’s absolutely necessary to the plot. Done well, this can result in a tight narrative, but done poorly it can be way too predictable.
Another is to add little details that, while not necessary to the plot, may make the world/characters feel more real. Done well you can get some believably human characters, but done poorly it just feels bloated.
