Tbf I like OP’s idea. Because if I get in a losing position I can refuse to move until they get bored and resign so I win
You can then not play with that person ever again. Who would even want to socialize with such a person?
Doesn't matter for some people, they get the win anyway...
yes exactly. Winning is all that matters for me
In MTG you have to make your moves in reasonable time though. There is no hard rule but playing too slowly can get you a slow-play warning.
By whom? Kitchen table MtG doesn't have judges. It's casual, friendly and sociable.
Casual chess, on the other hand... Yeah, maybe in some places in the world people still remember that clocks are optional. I have yet to meet such people in real life here.
Depends if you want to play chess as a sport or as a social activity. I stopped playing "socially" against strangers after being challenged a couple of times by "chess players" at parties who barely knew the rules and took ages to move.
Clockless chess still exists. Almost everyone in my locality plays chess without clocks. The only place where clocks come in, are professional environments and online. Each have their own reasons, in professional environments, game organizers usually have to fit in a number of games in a given period of time, so for this, time restrictions are important. Online, game abandonment has become a big problem, people just "walk off" the game when they find they are losing. To prevent this, timing games online is necessary.

The only reason MTG doesn't have chess clocks is that implementing them would be impractical.
When it became possible, card game websites often implement chess clocks: like on Master Duel.
