Isn't that dismissing 90% of games? The story can exist purely to give emotional context to the action of the game.

I meant in the context of a story-focused game, which is indeed less than 10% of games in general.

Oh, in that case I agree then: linear story-focused games feel like the developers misunderstood the concept of 'game'.

They're good too! See: the 'walking sim' genre (<3 beginner's guide) or interactive fiction like Turnadot (once rated #49 of all time)
