I re-read your comment 5 times and I still don't see the difference you're trying to highlight.
What I got is: people buy games and they don't play most of them. Is it wrong?

If each game was bought by a different person, then both most games bought and most people never play the games.
However, it’s very likely a small minority of people take advantage of the insane sales Steam has sometimes - like if 50 people bought a game each and played it, and one person bought 50 separate $1 arcade games and never touched them.
You get the same statistics in both cases of number of games played, but it’s two very different scenarios in terms of how humans use steam.
For me I imagine it’s a third case, that people like me often take advantage of the $1 deals and never end up playing most of those old or arcade titles?
A single person who "collects" games or buys them because it seems like good value can have thousands of titles in their steam library. Someone who actually plays all of them will have a much smaller number.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone's interpretation of the title tended toward their own experience, or lack thereof, with Steam.
