I enjoyed the first few seasons of Outlander well enough, but ultimately, yeah, I agree.

I suspect the majority of the time, the people telling these stories just really love romanticized "historical" fiction, so for them, the part where a modern character travels back through time is like 70% of the appeal. It's not that they are forced to live in the past because of a calamity; it's that they get to live in the past. It's a fantasy for them; a trope they love uncritically.

Compared to someone like me, who enjoys this sort of plot as a "fish out of water" story, and yes the immersive nature of the adventure is fun to read about, but at the end of the day romanticized "historical" fiction is not my jam, so for me, I see getting stuck in the past as a nightmare not a fantasy.
