Interesting but wrong. Almost always kids perused the computers together and shared what they made. This worked exactly like arcades at times.

So not it either. Really my guess is that at some point games started being made for boys only. You saw a lot of war and fighting, racing style games, with much less else. Even platformers started to wear those trappings.

Further, early games were always competitive. That does not generally appeal to people with less testosterone.

There were exceptions, but the rule is as it is.

It is an assumption based on what is visible.

There are always exceptions, but this rule is yours.
