I think you've missed the point.
The concept of Game Theory is inevitable because it's studying an existing phenomenon. Whether or not the researchers of Game Theory correctly model that is irrelevant to whether the phenomenon exists or not.
The models such as Prisoner's Dilemma are not inevitable though. Just because you have two people doesn't mean they're in a dilemma.

To rephrase this, Technology is inevitable. A specific instance of it (ex. Generative AI) is not.
