It is, but if it is your only motivator, the games shouldn't cater to you.

I'd argue there's room for both - however, the real enemy is capitalism as any game could have a well-balanced casual and competitive modes, but they take time and care which costs money and most games forced to extract money not support fun at the behest of boards, shareholders and c-suites.

Yes they should. Playing competitively and with a focus on winning is just as good as any other reason to play games.
