What? I never claimed those other types of games didn't exist. What kind of a schizo maniac am I talking to? You can't deny there were hundreds of these games out there.
Actual RPGs were kind of underrepresented though, although adjacent genres like text and icon based adventures were plenty. I assume the tape-based mass storage was to blame, saving and loading games was rather bothersome, though that didn't stop people from playing Elite.
