I know I'm really bad about not finishing games; While I love gaming, it can be just such a huge time commitment, and when you're working 50+ hours a week, that's hard to dedicate a shit ton of time to, and I know if I try to spread it out and only play for like an hour or 2 every couple of days, I often just lose interest in whatever it is I was playing.

Movies are my preffered media in my free time at this point. Even the longest movies are (almost) never gonna go over 3 hours, you get the entire story in one go (With the exception of franchises obviously, but that's a relative minority considering how many movies exist), and it's a lot easier to plan out my free time. If I know a movie is 100 minutes long, I can plan out when I'm watching it, if it's worth staying up late or if I should put it off to another night, whatever.

Most games it's a lot harder to gauge how long you have/how much you can get done in a certain amount of time. Even if you try to self impose a limit of "I only wanna play for an hour and a half tonight", you never know what part of the story you're gonna be at when you get to the end of the time limit, or if you're even at a spot that you can stop at at all.
