Not everything is supposed to be "fun". (Gaming)

I just woke up. This is what I am thinking.
Why is the Division so not fun, when other demonstrably unfun games like Firewatch or Life Is Strange get a pass from us?
Calling Firewatch "not fun" is on a level with disliking a film because it has an unhappy ending.In fact, it is EXACTLY like that.
Please explain? Nothing about an ending being 'happy' or 'unhappy' has to do with whether a film is enjoyable to watch. Unhappy endings are often appropriate.
If a game is not fun to play, it is a bad game. Firewatch was not fun to play. It is a bad game. FOR ME IN MY OPINION.
