If you play with your phone plugged in, you can turn on the "Stay Awake" option which will force the screen to stay on.

- Select “Settings” > “About phone“.

- Tap “Build number” 7 times to unlock developer mode.

- Now under “Settings” you have an option for “Developer options“. Under this menu, there is a “Stay awake” option.

You could alternatively get an app that keeps your screen on, like this one.

I agree, it's pretty dumb it's not just an option by default.
