Yes, it's lacking more apps. Which is rather a Catch-22. There has to be demand for them. Games are just an 'easy' (relatively speaking) medium to get into.

There are a few practical concerns of course. In a work environment, your manager can no longer easily interrupt you. They can't easily keep tabs on what you are doing either. This is enough to kill it at a workplace – maybe an exception for some engineering/medical settings.
