No. I find that games today are too immersive, too demanding of your time and attention. I prefer old arcade games because I can pick them up and put them down a couple of times in an hour. That helps prevent them from becoming life-consuming time sinks.

It depends on the game. Multiplayer games with battle passes and microtransactions yes. But there's tons of quality single player games out there.
The thing people forget is that arcade games were addicting, and designed to be. They were relatively short high score challenges with a high difficulty. That's a lot more addictive than a modern single player game with chapters/missions and a definitive end.
