Sure you can play fast, but many people (often Americans, it seems) cannot
resist the temptation to start a Monty Haul.  I have heard kids at GenCon
talk about their 32 level characters punting on Gods.  Some people play the
Dieties and Demigods book like a Monster Manual.  Who needs it?  It really
is much to complex.  There is plenty to be done running a medium level
character.  Besides, I think rpgs are games for playing with tricks, traps
and puzzles, not accumulating wealth and hacking and slashing.

Gygax himself says that the highest character he has ever built up is
18th level, and he's been playing since Day 1.
