Why is that games with more rated people is both more interesting and simpler?

Just curious, why almost every game with more rated people (like 1900+ for me) is both more interesting and simpler?

Just had a nice game:

Not perfect, but good enough for 3+2 timing.

What is curious is that the game was interesting almost from the beginning and it was easy to win. I always played chess and felt good chances and used them.

At the same time all the lost games before this one (4 games in a row) with weaker or similar rating opponents being boring and predictable and very hard. I never felt changes and fought brick walls.

What makes them so different? Is it a kind of unconscious attitude to better player or something else like "typical positions" and "experiments"?
Almost by definition, games by stronger players follow a more or less logical course from one phase of the game to the next, and games of weaker players follow more or less illogical sequences containing more randomizing errors.

By analogy, reading or listening to a story with a strong PLOT tends to be far more interesting than a story with merely EPISODIC sections that are poorly strung together.

And that is exactly opposite to the situation I described above. That's why I am asking.
Another game with more rated player.



Why it was so much easier than tons of games with 1700 rated players?
Just to the thrift-box. Why again this game

Was so much easier and funnier than many games with 1700-1800 rated players I played recent days?
