Well the definition of gaming disorder isn't how many hours one plays a week, but how the level of detrimental impact it has on the sufferer's ability to function in day to day life.

Why immediately make a direct correlation between gaming 3 hours a day and behavioural impairment? That is called bias. 

Because while the two are not one and the same, there is a correlation between time spent gaming and it becoming a disorder. It would be hard for it to reach the level of a disorder if you only played an hour a day.
