I believe this isn't so much an unpopular opinion, but just factually wrong. Like you could read or commission scientific studies showing that a group of average people will react to certain stimuli. Video games are all about those stimuli. And also it's a small percentage of players. It's also about protecting kids and teenagers. So while it is profitable to do this, sometimes society shouldn't allow it.
You could also make the same argument for fraudulent crimes. They weren't always criminal but were made criminal and are now accepted as being criminal. You could say "It's our fault for falling for this!".
