A final reason I can think of for the "video gamey" songs is because pretty much all video game music is meant to be atmospheric. It has to servethe gameplay. I can't think of a single non music video game where the music is the focus of the game. If the music distracts from playing the game in a bad way, then the game probably wasn't designed very well.

Your entire post perhaps makes sense if the only games you ever played are post 2000 twin stick shooters or something. I can see what you're gunning for but i feel like you are ignoring about 100 years of history here.

I was looking for internet radio stations that played video game music with very little success. If anyone knows of any good ones, I'd like to give them a try

Maybe not quite what you're looking for but there's this:
