why are modern games so handholdy with yellow paint?

>get fucking lost because it's a doom game
>it also has fully 3D maps
>muddle through half the game eventually finding the right path
>click left stick
>get shown a deadspace route/skyrim clairvoyance/fallout vans path
>god emperor be praised!
>have fun just killing enemies and being told where to next kill enemies when lost

>notice yellow paint

>replay older levels
>it's there too
>all of the yellow paint was in places I never questioned "Is this the right way?"
Did... did this game release with the paint or was it added later? Why was it so pointless?
Surely if you need paint in a game, you're one of those play for 20 minutes gamers who can't figure out all the buttons?

I wouldn't mind yellow paint if there's a way to completely disable it once you've memorized the pattern it apply to.

That said, it's fun when a game can use it as part of its aesthetic
(Control is a failure for other things)

At the very least top is introducing the fact that some bombable walls are not signified by cracks. The bottom room is not visible in-game.
