Personal growth is so much more fun than dalliances.   Of course hand eye
coordination is very satisfying.   But the best for that is piano.   And
there is all of that wonderful brain response with serotonin and dopamine.
Indian people say that growth is the only universal human language.
Growth, exercise, the pleasure of restoring our potential to its place of
immanence in life.

History suggests that this might be part of a broader trend.  Bridge, poker,
checkers, chess, etc.  All games.  Fill the time.  Be entertained.
(entertainment defined as the art or science of capturing and holding our
attention)  We need it (to escape from the existential void and boredom)
and so there is a digital answer to delivering entertainment.
