You and lichess, both of you, dominated by the "increment haters".
Some of us actually like to play with increment as we do not want our games to end as flagging contests but want to be able to play them out.
I understand that many do not like increment and they are well provided for, both for those of us who want to play with increment, both of your sites do not provide us any sensible time control arenas.
By increment, I mean at least 5 seconds, not 1 second or 2 seconds. 5+5 would make a decent blitz increment arena and 10+5 a decent rapid arena. The only thing I see is a 15+10 Swiss that probably lasts about 5 hours.
By the way, if you're going to set restrictions on a minimum number of games in an arena, make it public and not hidden away somewhere and then give the one who tries to join a "not enough games" error without telling them what the requirement is. At least lichess is open about that, and I agree with having these restrictions to stop new accounts joining (that are going to cheat) but even then the games could aggregate i.e. all rated games, not just blitz or rapid ones.
