Hello, creator of Focus here and I 100% agree. Focus isn't meant to force you to work.
Focus is meant to provide an environment that's not distracting on your computer. That's it.
The same way you might clean your desk before you start work. Or go to a coffee shop. Or go sit in a chair with a pad and a pen.
When you really want to get work done, you want to be able to minimize distractions.
You can't really do that on your computer since distractions are 1-click away (not to mention interruptions).
Focus is an experiment in improving your productivity by building good habits, and blocking distracting stuff is the very first step. Lots more is planned!
