Then you have mmorpg battles which are ridiculously boring.

There are two things that makes squads more effective than single guys if we don't count the ability to cover eachother etc. Firstly they take longer to kill and secondly they deal more damage. The lower the TTK the less important it is to have more than one guy shooting at a target and the lower the TTK the less important the added hitpoints are since it becomes more important to not get hit at all than actually tanking damage.

That kind of static, methodical play is extremely boring for some people, myself included

Why would anyone spam out bullets in a low TTK game? If you can't see someone you can't kill them, and if you can see them you just shoot accurate bullets against them and they die. Shooting bullets randomly reveals your position which makes you vulnerable, only idiots shoots without an intended target. In real life it is different, there shots also scares people but people in games aren't scared of death.
Also the gameplay of low TTK games isn't slow in general, it is just different. Most of the time you aren't taking hits and you aren't shooting at people but that doesn't mean that it is slow, people don't move around less in low TTK games etc. Having bigger maps per player makes a game slower though, as do having long respawn times, ample of strong defensive positions, accurate long range fire etc. If people could reliably hit each other at 200m range in PS1 with standard weapons it would become a lot slower without any other changes.
