This matches my expectation, it's just that I'd expect the household-invented games to be novel/creative and bad on average.

You haven't been at many game designer conventions, where a lot of 'household-invented' games are deriatives of Risk, Monopoly, Chess, Game of Life and current mechanism of the year. They are still bad though.
