Yeah, Anki is optimised for serious learners who ask "What is the most effective way to learn x"?, while duolingo optimises for fun and engagement.

A lot of people prefer having some fun and learning a bit as they go to going through some rather dull flashcards, even if the latter is technically a lot more time efficient.

I say as someone who's spent hundreds of hours in Anki. It's effective but it's miserable.
