Now, what's wrong with that?

What's wrong is that in fact a fun thing can be productive and "if it's fun it's not productive" is wrong - insofar as pjeby is right and I understand him right and you disagree.

A fun thing can be unproductive too of course. I'm not challenging the unproductivity of any of your example fun activities.
