The fun need has absolutely nothing to do with what you, the player, would consider fun and everything with what the Sims personality dictates.

That is what sims are drawn toward, so they do need it. I can have a book case, easel, etc. I don't put a computer, tv, or radio on the lot and all the sims immediately go to their phone to play a game. So providing non-electronic fun items DOES NOT prevent them from being drawn to electronics for fun. That is why I believe it is broken.

The entertainment of today exists for a reason. All the way from the invention of cave paintings to Netflix, each iteration has been successful because it is more fun and offers more variety than the thing before it.
Seriously, that is not broken, that is 100% realistic.
