"fans not quitting"

I did. Forty years ago I used to watch (American) football games back to back. Then after a very large number of boring, low-scoring, run-run-pass-punt games in a row, I asked myself why I watched them. I stopped watching most football games.

After being a fanatic in my youth, I now see maybe four or five games a year. Don't miss it all. It's true, if they eliminated fgs and only gave one point for tds, the average score would be about 3-2. Maybe not even that. Not much more exciting than soccer.

Your impression is correct. There are about 1.5 touchdowns per every TV hour of football and 1.4 goals scored per every TV hour of soccer.
