What if people don't usually have the time or don't have a preference for that type of setting/gameplay? Oh, wait I shouldn't be trying to reason with ridiculous hyperbole. Seriously these kind of comments often have the opposite effect of making someone want to play a game, actually the type of language can put people off anything.
Like I wrote, Skyrim was a huge positive surprise for me, since I didn't really find Oblivion all that great. That's not "ridiculous hyperbole", it's how I feel about the game. So yeah, if you ask me I do think everyone should at least give it a try before writing it off. I'm very glad I did. Sorry that's so very offputting for you.
Also, I'd like to think that if the OP didn't have the time to experience a game like Skyrim, he wouldn't have made this thread. Surely he has some idea what the game is? Also, you don't have to make Skyrim a 100 hour game. You can "finish" the game (by which I mean finish the main quest lines) much, much faster than that. Sure, you won't get to experience everything the game has to offer that way, but you can play it in a more linear fashion if you want to. And that, the option to play the game any way you want, is one of its strenghts.
