Not really. Gaming is also a lot more involved than reading a book or watching a movie. There isn't much you can do about that. As far as accessible, you have three major consoles to choose from plus Steam and GOG. There's nothing especially difficult about using any of these platforms. If you don't like involved games you can download "free" (emphasis on quotes) 5 minute time wasters on your mobile phone with just a couple finger taps. It's not like you need a federal background check and a 5 day waiting period to game.

Gaming is as accessible as anything else out there. The question is whether someone considers gaming a hobby worth investing time and money in at the expense of other hobbies. If yes, they'll invest it. If no, they'll invest the time and money in something that is more to their tastes.
