This is the same thing I realized when being a "game master" of the shooter matches we used to hold on my previous project. The end goal of that play was fun, not to determine who has the most technical skill. After realizing this in my head, and also implementing it as additional rules for the game, the game sessions became much more enjoyable for everyone, participation, enjoyment, and desire to return for another session was through the roof. That said, both kinds of play has its place, in my life at least. Staying on the topic of shooters, when I play online in ranked, it's all out for me, and I enjoy that as well, in a different way. But when playing with my wife, it's never all out, always friendly.
