how come subjective viewpoint cinema doesn't work?

of course, most movies use momentary subjective view shots but how
come camera is a poor substitute for extended subjective shots?
how come movies that utilize long subjective take--lady in the
lake--are considered aesthetic failures?

could citizen kane have worked using subjective perspective throughout
as originally planned?

now explain memory flashbacks or dreams. these are meant to be
personally subjective. yet, in most movies we see the person whose
dream or memory it's supposed to be in the dream or memory flashback.
isn't this kinda absurd?
yet, it always works. why?

best use of subjective shot?
