oh you're so right. sketchbooks are just places to draw and make art in and whatever you want in whatever way. this is actually why I've started to add scrapbooking elements to mine too, it soothes that anxiety of "having good drawings" in my sketchbooks and lets me just focus on the emotion/feeling

i also like using stickers on sketchbooks now, which I would have avoided before bc it felt like sketchbooks are "too temporary". Now I just enjoy making these very time-specific things of sketchbooks. each one is different!
