I think there is a difference.

Yeah, the tamagotchi are games, but they are a game in the singular sense.

All the things you mention as distractions except the food items are contained in one phone multiple times over. Heck, you could probably even find a bubblegum chewing app.

That’s the distraction potential contained in one phone.
