The best part of video games back in the day was making memories with your friends, now it all feels like structured fun. “This is how you play the game and this is when you are supposed to have fun” Idk if that makes sense.

Most aren't. Some great ones do come along still, like Hades, Stray, Elden Ring, or Tears of the Kingdom. The problem is obviously the end goal is to make money, but the methods for making money are infringing more and more on the escapism and games are trying less to hit that fun button and no more to hit the addiction button.
