Are there any real world situations where a fixed length scenario is more analogous than a random length one?
Most of them. Dating, a night out at the bar, employment, driving somewhere, etc, etc. If you take a Gods-eye view and mash these all together, sure, our life is one big indefinite-length IPD, but at that point you’ve lost so much information that it’s not clear that chunks of a good indefinite strategy map to good definite strategies.

LOL @ dating being analogous to a fixed length iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma. [insert tired cliché joke about nerds here]
