Actually I noticed something related with websites. It's not that they want to be "an immersive experience", they want to be the immersive experience. In the world of free, apps and websites compete for our attention. This is what "please register" is about. Every website wants to be your home of sorts, track you, give you badges for activity, wish you happy birthday or new year. Few of them recognize that you just want them to be useful. Just use them and get the job done.
