Sorry, but it sounds like you have a point, but I have to back off a bit. Just like gaming, XTC, booze and even sports… everything can be addictive: enjoy in moderation and take your own responsibility.
Of course, companies always try to sell as much as possible, that’s what companies are for. In the beginning of your life it is up to your parents / educators to arm you against this and then to yourself.
If you think that life should always be fun and can’t accept that it just sucks every now and then, maybe you should talk to a psychologist instead of fleeing into any behavior or means .
For the vast majority of people it is of course just wonderful to lose yourself completely once in a while, whether that is with a book, a game, VR or the stimulants of your own choice.
