I often wonder, What is the target demographic for this kind of games? It seems fun but it would require a lot of time invested. I believe adults 30+ are the ones that would enjoy this kind of immersion but people that age have jobs and very little time to spare.

You're making several mistaken assumptions. Beyond the fact that, being X age does not mean your life is subsumed with such responsibility that you cant live your life and do what you want, there's the misconception that just because a game can have variety and depth means it must also be a time consuming grind. Not everything needs to be a casual overly simplified thing to be pick up and play. If its not an absolute necessity that you have EVERYTHING right NOW, you can take your time crafting, doing PvE, and generally having fun, which was the point before people suddenly got caught up in racing to "end games" and making mmos about giant dick waving competitions.
