It's a sub-genre that is not for me, although I know and respect that many people enjoy it greatly.

Story is a low priority for me. Physical and mental challenges are high priorities. So it's a poor match.

FaceBook is a Friend Simulator.

Porn is a Sex Simulator.

Gym Memberships are Fitness Simulators.

Traffic Congestion are Slow Death Simulators.

Movies are Fantasy Simulators.

Drugs, Alcohol, and Tabacco are Escape Simulators.

Jobs are Income Simulators.

Taxes and Voting are Citizen Simulators.

Churches and Cathedrals are Devotion Simulators.

Politicians are Ego Simulators.

Wealth is a Hording Simulator.

Eating is a Survival Simulator.

Climate Destruction is the Most Selfish Bastard Simulator of All.

Online Forums are full of Troll Simulators.

Gun Violence are Cries for Help Simulators.

Human Rights violations are Evil Simulators.

Ignorance is a Happiness Simulator.

Corporations are Greed Simulators.

Homelessness are Mental Illness Simulators.

[edit:]  Sean Spicer is a Dancing Simulator.  ;)

If it's all about the story and cinematics in such a "game" then I rather just watch a movie. If there is a lot of puzzles in it and if they are good puzzles then I can also play it.

I have enjoyed games that I've seen described as Walking Simulators, such as Amnesia (especially A Machine for Pigs) and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, but that's because they had puzzles and other stuff to do in-between the walking. But if we're talking "pure" Walking Simulators like Dear Esther then that's a big No from me. I don't mind games that are heavily story-driven but when it's all just an exhibition where you don't get to do anything but walk and occasionally stop to read/listen to some text then I lose interest quite fast.

Would call drugs and Tobacco stupidity-simulators, and i am not that big of a fan of alcohol either xD

As for the topic at hand walking-simulators are nice palate cleanser between more skill-based games

What if it involved walking behind someones sexy butt?

Slightly more interesting but I'd much rather play Uncharted which has the aforementioned sexy butt and great action gameplay.

I don't hate them. I played "Everybody's Gone to the Rapture" and I enjoyed it, but I'm pretty sure that playing big doses of these types of games can become tiresome.

Yeah.  Nathan's tight butt was very distracting.

Walking simulation most surely is meh, but still better and less tiring than actually walking.
