To me the problem is that some free-to-play mobile games are the equivalent of twiddling your thumbs. If you're curious about trends in gaming and esports, this data just isn't very useful because it's combining segments that really don't have much in common. Also mobile games have deservedly earned a reputation as blatant dopamine pumps and many don't deserve to be considered 'real video games' any more than Facebook or Instagram. It's like measuring how many people know how to cook and then including people who do microwave dinners. It's technically not incorrect and there's nothing wrong with the people who microwave, it's just not a very useful piece of data.
