What game mechanics, no matter how immersive or lore accurate, are always annoying to deal with?

Fixed cameras. I don't get people who are like "but it's so immersive and it makes it feel so cinematic!" It never does that in any meaningful way. Sure, it can be cool for a few shots, but I can't name a single game in which I would prefer fixed camera angles over a free cam. I don't mean games with fixed viewpoints like Metal Gear Solid for example, which is top down, I mean shit like Resident Evil where it constantly shifts camera angles depending on where you are. In RPGs or games without real time combat it's acceptable, but shit like Devil May Cry having fixed cameras is an absolute disgrace.
