Apple doesn't really do gaming because it believes folk should get their recreation through being outdoors and taking exercise, rather than sitting in front of a screen.
Having said that, I think Apple should work with gaming studios in much the same way it works with its manufacturing partners.
Apple doesn't manufacture its own stuff because it doesn't want to be saddled with a manufacturing infrastructure which they would need to sell or retool when they start making new widgets.
Likewise, Apple doesn't want to be saddled with a game studio that creates something that might be out of fashion in a year or two.
However they could create a really great gaming engine (and they might need one soon) and work with/pay game studios to produce really great games to run on it.
If what you posted was true, Apple would not have created and invested in Apple TV+ and it's content.
You’re right about the first bit, but I’m not so sure about the second. I think tv and films cover a wider base of interest than games, and have a much larger audience.
I think that the audience of games is as large as TV and films. Just look how popular games as Fortnite, Candy Crush, Mario, Zelda and Halo are. And some of these games have been extremely popular since the beginning (Mario - 1983, Zelda - 1986, Halo - 2001) and still popular today.
