I develop games as a hobby, and my understanding is that this is literally true, but a little misleading. Games are as diverse as other areas of software, but they're skewed toward the more complex and demanding end. I don't think it's that atypical for a moderately complex game by an indie studio to get to the point where memory layout is a concern, which I don't think is as true for web apps, desktop apps, or other areas of development. That being said, I think worrying about memory layout is more than a lot of games need.
