For those allergic to three day issues, internalize that while chol is nice, kodesh is better, and more kodesh is more better.
Using this as an excuse to “like” an extra day of a chag is simplistic and incorrect. Face it – Chazal developed the second day of chag for those who would not (or could not) move to E”Y. A second day was not what Hashem intended as the ideal, otherwise, two days per chag would have been mandated in the Torah.
