Strawman. That wasn't what I said. "Everything in life during recreation time is fun" would be a little bit more accurate, but not exactly.

As the ever so wise JLaw once said:

You can call it whatever you want, I won't stop you. If you don't understand something as simple as different people play different games for different reasons and that not everything we feel when we play a game can be referred to as "fun", I honestly have nothing to say to you and let's just drop it here.

Who contested the bolded? All of these reasons fall under the ultimate goal of "gain enjoyment/having fun" unless they are educational/occupational (you learn from the game design or you are reviewing the game.)

It is like saying because I am scared when I ride a roller coaster, I am not having fun. It is a silly strict definition to make oneself not look like a kid/overestimate one's hobby as important. That is why I dispute your limited use of the word.
