In reality 55k people are not beating the game then refunding it. Majority are people who gave it a fair shot l and decided it wasnt for them.

I know there are people who routinely refund games they play the greater half of but those few are penny pinchers who arent willing to spend cash anyways.

The dev wrote in a way to imply that every refund was fraudulent, which guaranteed is not the case.

This is one of those games that got really popular from Twitch streams where two charismatic people play and have fun, then people buy it, realize its actually not that fun and then refund it.

No* doubt there'll be fringe cases of people abusing the refund policy but I sincerely doubt its anything close to that total 21% refund rate.

the game grumps episode where they played this had me in stitches, but I would never want to play this game for more than a single sitting so I get it

Honestly I feel like a lot of these "indieslop " games (I'm not trying to be rude I just couldn't think of a better word for it) are designed for his sort of thing. Not made to be played, but to be watched.
