Anyone who has swam at La Jolla Shores or pretty much any SD beach knows plenty of people are swimming or playing in the waves and not running in and out. I provided several threads that show plenty of people who find 70 degree water comfortable, so it appears you're the only lying or are ignorant of other people's preferences.
No one finds 70 degrees comfortable. They may like cold, but how can they find it comfortable if they will die in that water within a couple hours?
Again, the comfort for the vast majority of people is 84 degrees. That's what resorts keep their pools at. Anytime you step in a pool, that is how 84 degrees water feels like.
70 is just too damn cold, if resorts try to keep their pools at that temperature they will be sued for providing "ice water" for customers to swim in.

Most of the pools I've swam in are outdoor pools. They're more likely to be closer to 70°F than 84°F.

Even outdoor pools are heated, and they will be only 70 degrees in the morning, or on cool days if they are not heated in the summer where you're at, Massachusetts.
I'm not even sure what you mean by your statement, go as far out in the Atlantic? what? Yeah playing in the waves...jumping into them, over them, under, getting tossed around, and especially body surfing and riding a wave in. I like boogie boarding too but didn't do it that often. I just think swimming in calm waters is like swimming in a pool, kind of boring in comparison but I can still enjoy myself. Waves are fun to play in imo which is why a lot of water parks have wave pools.
Actually that's exactly where I'm lost in the whole point of your statement. Like I already said the Atlantic is still an ocean, you are a puny human being in comparison.
Even the tallest of dudes in a place like Daytona Beach for example, will have to stop after a certain point, because if they go any deeper the waves will be big enough to go over their heads, devour them, drown them, send them to the hospital, the morgue...
If your goal is to break surfing records, yes you will find the Atlantic lacking in comparison (the US side anyways). Having large enough waves to play in with your physical body however is not among the issues. In fact it's better in the Atlantic strictly due to the fact that it's warmer. So yeah that's kind of where I'm lost on the point. Unless you were just comparing waves vs non waves in general, which might come in useful in some ocean vs lake debate.

Waves on the east coast wont drown you unless its a storm or you cant swim.
Places like Miami often times have no waves.
Pacific Coast for people who want a more natural, rugged and wild beach experience an any time of the year.
(biodiversity and gorgeous topography/backdrops/better protected)
Atlantic Coast for those who want a more comfortable beach experience once in a while. Beach towns cater to tourists, not as much "nature", warmer water to swim, and "once in a while" (between noreasters in the winter and tropical storms in the summer).
Haha there aren't THAT many summer tropical storms that stop you from going to the beach that makes it a "once in a while" experience.
I can't think of a hurricane/tropical storm that even made landfall in my region last year.
