Why publicly criticize a distro based on a guess that its users are unwilling to use what it offers?
If you’re gaming you absolutely should though.
Well, if your hardware or games happen to need a new kernel or Mesa, then yes. But many do not, so it’s not absolute. Also, many gamers get Mesa from Flatpak or Steam instead of their distro, in which case the version provided by Debian doesn’t matter at all.
I suggest re-thinking your original comment. It’s misleading, and it amplifies a popular misconception.
I’m not criticizing Debian. It’s an amazing distro. It’s just not ideal for gaming. I’m not rethinking shit. What I said is accurate even if it hurts your feelings.
Sure, but I’m guessing most Debian users don’t bother. If you’re gaming you absolutely should though.

It isn’t, and it doesn’t. I was trying to help you understand what you clearly do not. Goodbye.
Because expecting users to manually add shit after the fact to make the OS functional is dumb.
