You probably should have seen this coming.

The game's slogan used to literally be "ninjas play free" and had elements of Asian culture incorporated in Tenno weaponry, seiza-style kneeling, dojos, and even dojo decorations that were clearly traditional Japanese architecture and items. Fishing was simply added as a way to gain standing for the Ostron people since they'd actually have a reason to accept it. Same with collecting minerals for them and carrying out bounties. In addition, a large selection of the community asked for it and genuinely wanted it as a nice change of pace from slaughtering everything you see en masse, collecting what they had, moving on to the next group, extract, repeat. Fishing isn't even that prominent. It's only used in a small fraction of the game and required for a fraction of that fraction.

Oh well though. I guess the game is doomed to become Senran Kagura because fishing exists.
