Maybe, but distinct from real "gaming".

A game is a game. There is no "real gaming". Apple Arcade with a Xbox controller paired to a Mac is actually a fun gaming device for some types of gamers.
Genshin Impact is a great game that is on iOS in addition to "real consoles". Oceanhorn 2 is an amazing game that was originally on Apple Arcade and brought to Nintendo's "real console".
There is also quite a number of ports that I think you aren't aware of.

There is a difference between Tetris on Facebook versus Dota or CSGO on PC. The later is "real gaming", the former not. The border might be a gradient.
It's like calling yourself a programmer because you can set a timer on your VCR. (dated but still accurate)

And since when CSGO is a GPU-demanding game?
You think "real games" are for "hard triers only", but it's just your point of view.
