You've listed mostly previous generation, or much older, games. Overwatch being somewhat the exception, though I would say it has a very low skill floor and a mediocre skill ceiling. Overwatch is nowhere near the skill ceiling of Quake 3, IMHO.
Consider that in Fortnite a junior player can outlive and outlast a seasoned player by avoiding conflict, and score reasonably well.
In Pokemon Go and other similar mass market games, skill is an after thought at best; it's all about the balance between engagement with your friends and community and grinding levels and awards; intrinsic versus extrinsic.
The prolonged death of arena shooters is the evidence of the importance of skill.
