How is killing time on Tetris on Nokia any different than Candy crush or browsing hackernews on iPhone?

At least with iPhone I can load up hundreds of ebooks to read and choose how I spend my time.

Hm, you could argue that the Tetris app is not designed with casino-like blinking/vibrant colors/success sounds to induce endorphine rushes. Also Tetris is relatively fair and does not have pay-to-win schemes (notice how that unbeatable Candy Crush roadblock level suddenly becomes easy after you have swiped your card again).
