I'm not entertaining the idea that shifting to a critique of a specific aspect of the game is the same as claiming it's "boring".

Also, I think the way they paced out the increases in mobility is one of the game's stronger aspects. In the context of a large explorable world, making walking speed too high will destroy the challenge and pacing of the game like nothing else. The overworld is enormous with appropriately scaled terrain that's magnificent and glorious to behold. If you're not taking the time to look around and appreciate the scenery, I can understand why you'd say it's "boring", but maybe consider that it's not for you and move on instead of pretending your opinions are able to predict how appealing people find it.

it's yet another open world survival craftathon with fortnite building and a gimick. If you like the gimmick, then good for you, don't let me tell you not to like the thing you like.

I've seen a number of these games come and go. Ark survival, raft, conan exiles, rust, and more that I've forgotten the names of. Obviously there's a demand for a game like this, but none of them stand above the rest. If you ignore the aesthetic, then they're all the same. Play one and you've played them all, and to me that's boring.

I've played Ark, and I think the places where Palworld is most similar to it are where it's weakest.
