That's not a smart take. While games are probably going to be important for Apple's XR products, it's not an area of strength for them. Apple does not talk about things they don't think they are the best at (they might and are often wrong!)
It would not be a good idea for Apple to lean into games with no credibility. They need to build that before they go hard with games.
Also, launch context is important. This was announced at a developer conference. There is no content or apps for it. They want to excite developers into creating some useful and engaging apps for their new platform. At this point, consumer interest is secondary.
Linking too closely to games excludes the massive, largely unaddressed non-game market. Linking to non-game content does not prevent a successful launch as a game platform later.
