Depends on what they have interest in more than what I introduced them to. My son was super interested in doing things himself e.g. Minecraft or building a PC together. My daughter is more into the social aspect, roleplaying and designing sort of stuff by herself or with friends.
Early on tablet stuff was the easiest and most educational way to introduce them e.g. monkey math, where's my water and the like (easy touch inputs, basic puzzlers etc). They feel like they're playing a game even when learning how to write characters or spell or basic math etc. Once they had those down I introduced some basic PC skills for mouse stuff and console games like NES Mario Bros. As a family we also play board games and cards most weeks too. Play through the mini NES and mini SNES was a blast with the kids. Xbox has been an amazing ecosystem in our household and Gamepass in my kids friends circles too.
As they got older their interests take over e.g. son and friends into FPS style games where daughter more into sim and world building stuff. She's wanting to build her own PC now for streaming/channel stuff. We've always had family game nights as well, stuff like Rayman Legends, Jackbox party games, Wii coop/party games etc where my wife and I are involved. My wife isn't big on video games but the kids and I are.
Any parent ruling out video games is ruling out a world of adventure, skills and these days social circles. It would be like ruling out sport for your kid, stupid. Balance between them all is necessary and don't let any of them become an addiction or sole focus. Our kids do two sports and training as well as excel at school. We're just as involved in their gaming as we are their homework or friends/family circles too.
