I think that, in theory, idle games wouldn’t be TOO bad on their own. However, they happen to encourage/allow developers to add tons of microtransactions and because of the simple gameplay: many devs make clones of existing games or games with the same game loop. This leads to a shit show of shitty games in the genre. So I believe the concept is meh, but in practice they are all terrible.

I HATE idle games with all my heart and soul. I love management games and those shitty excuse for a game is everywhere.
If you like management and friendly strategy games look for Kairosoft they are the only ones I know are not Idle shit. Also they are maily play once so most of them (except dream house story) don’t have in game stores.
