I disagree. There are tons of puzzle games which can be played by anyone. Lot of e-sports focused games can be played fast like Rocket League. Point and click games are still alive and kicking. Things like "Long live the queen" or "Black Closet" can be played in 30mn sessions.
But yeah, that's not AAA games so when you have to check some game store and not expect ads to get drilled into your eyes about those games. You have to open Steam or GoG at least one time.

On one hand, the ads are drilled into their eyes. On the other hand, they expect something for them there. They don't need to dig through pile of barely reviewed games and genres targeted at niche fans (which usually means more hardcore taste in some regard). Any game can be played by anone, technically speaking. Not sure why puzzles would be the thing for other demographics. However, assuming it is, Steam sux for finding good puzzle games. It does not really allows you to distinguish puzzle from rpg or adventure with a bit of puzzle bent. Playstore much less so for that matter, but then again, steam audience is quite hostile toward games that seems to them too much mobile like. It is ok, it is their playground, it is not like west would have millions of retirees waiting to buy on steam. Which is back to my point. Culturally, in the west, games are meant for and consumed by much different demographic then movies.
