Exactly, I think this is the distinction people miss when promoting this meme. Most kids soccer leagues are not competitive, and not meant to be. It's meant to be fun, and inclusive and get kids interested in sports and being outside and not being obese. It makes sense to be universally encouraging in these contexts.
Kids who show a serious interest and aptitude and join competitive leagues definitely find themselves having a very different experience.

Those of us a little older remember when competition extended right into non-competitive play, for better or worse. The overall point being that the move towards creating less "losers" by removing the opportunity to lose is actually a detriment to development.
