You can play games with your computer, smartphone even a piece of paper but these products are not designed to play games as their main function

Well, is "playing games" the new definition of "toy"? Because a basketball is definitely designed to play a game as its main function. But I doubt you'd say LeBron James is "playing with toys" when he's dunking on someone. Nor would you say a sport (basketball) is a toy. As I doubt you'd say people playing a game of poker are "playing with toys".

Games can be played with toys but that does not mean games = toys. It's like a square is always a rectangle but a rectangle isn't always a square.

Before people started to lick the foot of football players and basketball players, basketball and football (sport) were just games and a ball was just a toy
