Many popular games even today are not "high quality" in the slightest, though. (Think Monopoly)

I dunno about 'many'. Monopoly is infamous for being bad, is popular only for legacy reasons, and is rapidly fading. (My own family used to play Monopoly frequently, but I can't remember the last time we did, because the last few times we were able to play on the holidays, we were playing games like Pandemic or Settlers or Hill House or D&D...) If you look at how kids spend their time, on things like Minecraft or Fortnite, I think the overwhelming majority of them are better games than Monopoly.
