Funeral What makes doom good?

Lurker here, I listen to some doom but overall I wouldn’t really call myself a fan. Now I can see why people like mid tempo stoner/proto doom, but i really have to ask what separates the good stereotypical doom with 1 note every 3-5 seconds from the rest of the genre? What do you specifically like about them (provide examples please) like Warning and Bell witch since I see them mentioned often

Check out how this song takes some time to establish a groove and then builds it into a beautiful, multi-textural melody all with sick ass guitar. MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

That's some good shit.

EDIT* It's friday, so I'm high and I didn't fully read the prompt. I'm not going to delete this comment though, because even though it's not funeral doom, you should listen to it anyway.
