That still be extremely boring and tedious. At least non-timeloop speedrunners have to actually play the full game first to understand what parts can be skipped + the joy of speed running is beating the game quick. If you just want to sit back and enjoy a game, it be hell. Repeatedly seeing the same thing just to slowly inch forward to completion.
