Doom was also born out of D&D sessions. And the What genre is Doom? video argues pretty well for RPG.

Almost every game nowadays has some kind of story. Pure abstract games like Tetris, however long lasting and multigenerational they are, are the vast minority. Even in something like Pong you play the role of a tennis player.

So, yeah, almost every game is an RPG.

If Pong is an RPG, then tennis is an RPG. When I use reflexes to move the paddles, I'm not playing the role of a tennis player, I am playing tennis (some form of it at least).
