> To make it "more fun" (at least, from our perspectives),

It definitely is more fun. As a kid, I won a Pokemon TCG match because my opponent never got a card they could play and forfeited (although it turns out we both just didn't know the actual rules for this). It was a little funny, but not fun to win, and I can't imagine he enjoyed it either. There's a lot of sub-optimal shuffles where the winner is so obviously pure luck it makes you wonder why you ever even considered strategy in the first place and IMO those are really unfun.
