There are a lot of different types of fun. For example, there's a lot of satisfaction in accomplishing something, even if you didn't have "fun" doing it (this is why people like to climb mountains or 100% games).

Some people just want an excuse to hang out with friends, and a non-intense game can be a good way to do that. Games ultimately fulfill a lot of different needs for people. Not every game needs to be the most engaging thing ever, in the same way that not every movie needs to be The Godfather. And I think it's important to recognize why people play games without being condescending about it.
