I've always thought these are dumb but I'm starting to think I understand the appeal and wanna try getting into them. It would be cool if it had some strategic or customization elements, is available on PC, and can pretty much fully be played with a mouse. It doesn't have to be totally idle I'm okay clicking around sometimes I just don't want to be that engaged. Like a background thought kinda game.

What's the scoop on this weird ass genre

Realm Grinder I think is the best idle game of all time (and I've played through all the major ones like Cookie Clicker, Antimatter Dimensions, Clicker Heroes, A Dark Room, and probably some others I'm forgetting) but it is a multi-month long game and I don't recommend it without an autoclicker to speed up the buying buildings process.
