You complain about people not playing to win, then you complain about people playing to win. So it has nothing to do with whether it not people are trying to win, and everything to do with you wanting to dictate what the "right" way to play is and everyone has to play by the rules you've made up.

You go ahead and skip every other action to make the game take an extra 15-20 minutes so that you can brag to your online friends that you have more virtual points. You would never do that to your friends in real life, or maybe you are that inconsiderate.
"You can only go after the player in first place" and "you must use both actions on your turn" are not rules of TM. You could make a suggestion to add these options at table creation but I doubt it will gain much traction because nobody wants to play by your house rules. Making up your own rules and insisting everybody else abide by them is something most people grow out of in grade school.
When I play TM with my friends in person we regularly go 1 action at a time, because we are playing to win. Much like how you say you shouldn't go after 2nd place because it lowers your chances of being first, you shouldn't play both actions at once without a good reason because it lowers your chances of being first.
I am far more likely to play 1 action at a time in person than online because you can move through the turns much faster in person.
You've chosen to play an interactive game, you don't get to dictate how other people interact with the game. Perhaps you should try something with less player interaction or a game with a solo mode.
