I’ve had similar experiences in games myself. I would rationalize that a certain suboptimal playstyle was more fun or more suited to me or whatever, then eventually realize I was wrong. I don’t think it’s always better to play optimally though.
I think in some cases it might not just be rationalization, but rather an actual change in what’s optimal between the learning phase and the more experienced phase of playing a game.
