So the Bad Dragon Biker Gang is Mandatory Story Content?

I was a little annoyed when an extra hour of content was added onto Chapter 2 just to make sure I engaged with everything the Biker Gang story had to offer, from recruiting to the same copy paste story structure for the Real Estate Royale, Kiryu Clan, and Pirate territory side activities. This tutorial certainly lasted longer than all of those, but after Infinite Wealth and Pirate Yakuza, it wasn't too surprising. But it seems that since they removed all the kids stories from Chapter 4, they decided to force you to continue the Biker Gang plot, asking that you recruit more members, complete a major chunk of its frankly bland story, only to then ask you to recruit more members, upgrade your rank, and do another major section.

The pacing is so shot in this game. Every chapter so far has had at least 5 new minigame tutorials baked into the story just so you can win some dirt or dust from the Ichin prize wheel or Infinite Wealth Photo Rally.

Thoughts on this?
