Games are a hobby. If they give you pleasure and joy, then there is no “better” thing to be doing.
How much of your time at 18 should be spent on hobbies is a different matter, but to dismiss games as unsitable at that age is insane.
The games people play growing up and as young adults can be formative and massively influential.
They tell stories, frustrate, entertain, let you form social bonds, and even enlighten you in ways no other form of media can by allowing you interactively explore the thoughts of other people.
Plus, I’m not even 30, I am already noticing a decline in my performance in terms of precision and reaction time when it comes to the competitive genre.

I was asked for an old man advice and gave it. Video games is not any hobby. It requires no physical effort and little social interaction. It is suited for older married people.

Music does not “require” physical effort or social interaction. The same goes for books, movies and tv.
Video games are an art medium, with exceptions to every one of your points.
Motion control games require tons of physucal effort.
Multiplayer games literally cannot be played without other people.
There are games for couples, friends, parties, and quiet alone time.
It’s an entire art medium, one which INCLUDES entire other art mediums like writing, music, acting, an more.
Your opinion is based on an incredible narrow interpretion of what video games are and can be.
