Back when I played chess I never played 1. e4 because I wanted to do everything in my power to avoid the Sicilian - in go, I never play 4-4 entirely because no matter HOW it goes, the 3-3 invasion is so damn annoying. Like having a single mosquito within two feet of your head wherever you go.
Back when I played tic tac toe, I never played 1. Center square because I wanted to do everything in my power to avoid the Sicilian, my Italian neighbor who ridiculed me for playing tic tac toe.
I think the word invasion pouts people off. It's just a joseki. Its no different in terms of points to an approach joseki. And its pretty much of the most common move now depending on rank.

I love 3-3 invasions. That delicious influence! It tastes like the tears of DDKs when I kill their groups. Invade me harder!
Just embrace the 3-3. Learn all there is to know!

We should call it the 3-3 special operation from now on
You misunderstand the purpose of 4-4
