OSRS plays on 0.6 TPS... or 100 ticks per minute kind of funny how different that is.

No, OSRS is 100 ticks per minute which gives 0.6 second ticks, which rounds to 1.667 ticks per second.

Eve Online probably wins the slowest tickrate award with its whopping 1 tick per second.

IIRC it gets even slower during massive battles where there are hundreds/thousands of players on the same server and area

I thought EVE was (near?-)tickless but with all interaction subject to substantial cool down timers that limit input frequency into the core?

Yup. As a plugin dev it has its weird quirks but it's quite amazing how the entire time runs at that speed

OSRS players hate when they have to actually play the game. They just want to click the screen every 10 minutes while playing something else.

...what? the game is full of highly technical and demanding challenges which require "tick-perfect" inputs 2-5x per 0.6s game tick.

OSRS is a rhythm game. Fight me.

I don't think anyone would fight you on that. Inferno cheat plugins looked like 100 bpm Guitar Hero back in the day.
