I sort of agree; though 'casual' has something of a practical use, in the same way that 'gamer' does; despite both of those words being horribly abused when discussing video games.
In the same way that saying "people who play games" and "games enthusiasts" can be short-handed to "gamer"; "games to be played in a relaxed fashion" or "playing games infrequently" is easily short-handed to casual.
It's when you start using it with a negative implication that it becomes annoying and problematic.
Wow I just described the common social use of 'gay' by accident, whoops.
