Most PC and console games people play have gatcha mechanics and by having gatcha makes them gatcha games. If it has any gatcha mechanics it's a gatcha funnel.

I work in the games industry, and this just isn’t true.

Where are you getting your information from?

I would say common sense from seeing free to play shooters, verified by a random site where most are gatcha games. https://activeplayer.io/top-15-most-popular-pc-games-of-2022...

Some aren’t gatcha but most are.
