That does sound like a good incentive.

Though maybe I played post-patch when they eased up on the timers? Because I'm 80 hours into my run and asides from once or twice, I dont think I have ever had less then 5 turns leftover, unless I was purposely sitting around waiting for reinforcements to farm for XP.

This. I played XCOM2 twice, once when it was released, and again after the Chosen DLC (and I got all the other DLC, too). I don't remember them being on that many missions, or feeling like they overburdened me.

A big drawback of TBS games is how easy it is to turtle and cheese most of them, and this was a big problem for XCOM 1, where Overwatch was a bit OP and you could just hunker down and overwatch your way to victory a majority of the time. Some missions being timed is an obvious solution to that. And honestly, sounds a bit like a casual vs. hardcore preference, since being forced to move and think faster, and less able to cheese it makes for a harder challenge.
