Most people, if they could actually choose what they're able to sustain focus on, would not choose video games or other forms of idle entertainment. Wouldn't you rather do something that brings some lasting value to your life?
Since video games are designed to capture attention at the expense of all other qualities, they're like a last refuge for people who want to have the experience of really getting into something, but don't have the focus control for something more substantial.
