I'm going to make a few observations that should be obvious, but maybe they aren't. Anyway, this is inspired by some of my friends talking about DnD.
What you do with a game can have absolutely nothing to do with what the game wants you to do. And that's perfectly fine.
With that said, just because you do things with that game, does not make that game about those things. If I tell you that I use chess to woo strangers, this does not make chess an inherently romantic game.
A game is about whatever it lets you do with its mechanics. If the mechanics facilitate you doing a thing, then the game might indeed be about that. If they actively stand in the way of you doing a thing, then it is definitely not about that.
A game that does not help you contextualize your imaginative roleplay is definitely not doing you any favors. By all means, keep doing what you love, but there might be a game out there that absolutely helps you and facilitates the thing you want to do without leaving you out in the cold to make it all up on your own.
It is perfectly fine to houserule a game to oblivion and back to get it to facilitate the things you want to do. But at some point, you must admit you aren't actually playing that game anymore.
Don't encourage people to play a game without including the context that you are playing an entirely different version of it to have fun.
