This is an extremely childish way of thinking.
Is the original NES Super Mario Bros "childish"?
No, it's one man running from the left to the right in a platformer that defined an entire genre. It's historical relevance to gaming is extremely important, as are its sequels in Super Mario World, then you saw games like Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time revolutionize 3D games.
It's not childish to play any of those games, because games are meant to played, regardless of age. Is PacMan also for children? never stopped tons of boomers from hanging around arcades and putting in thousands of quarters to play pinball, galaga, etc etc. Games have always existed. They're there to have fun.
DOOM was also a game made for children, as were point and click games. Factorio and Dwarf Fortress are more complex, but that still only serves a pretty niche audience of gamers. There's all sorts of games for all sorts of tastes. Are racing sims for children because they're less complex than flying sims? Let's just pretend and say that Microsoft Flying Sim is the only game for adults, because flying a plane is what big boys do! That's not very fun is it. So stop taking yourself so seriously and just play games. Even the "mature" ones are played by annoying little zoomers and children who wish they were adults so badly. Your post reminds me of those children.
