I think it’s more that hysterical moral guardians and corporate boobs only see the traditionally casino-like superficial imagery of cards, dice, spades, clubs, slots, etc. and instantly knee-jerk themselves into declaring it “immoral” without actually bothering to take the twelve seconds required to experience the gameplay. At which point they would immediately realize that they are wrong.
This is Kyle’s Mom’s version of only reading the headline, or not bothering to look beyond the dust jacket and only screeching about imaginary content that exists only inside their own assumptions and based purely on the picture on the cover.

It can be both. The moral screeching is a convenient cover story for the corrupt industry.
Nonono you don’t understand, lootboxes make us money! Thats not gambling.
Playing cards though? Oh that’s definitely gambling. Go fish? Gambling. Solitaire? Definitely gambling. 52 pick-up? Straight to gambling.
Speaking of only reading the headline, I love me some corporate boobs.
No HR don’t allow enjoyment of corporate boobs. They kick you out at the office for that kind of thing.
Unless you are the manager your obviously, oh ironically you work in the games industry.
And pencil skirts… and tight, buttoned blouses…and heels…and glasses…
Who now?
