I don't agree. Video games can be a lot more than just "fun". This is an outdated approach and the simplification of this statement is insulting to games that actively try to be more than just "fun".

And why would they have to be fun for everyone? Why is catering only to a specific audience bad?

Gotta say I agree. It is a pretty archaic way to describe games. 

The sentiment is noble but its often used as a weapon in list wars to elevate or downplay certain types of games from certain companies. We see it all the time with the "cinematic" and "nice movie" jabs even when its totally uncalled for i.e The Salty of Us. Jimquisition mentioned that the statement is debatable but he respects the concept, as do I. Fun means different things to different people.
