games like counter strike, league of legends, dota 2, quake, starcraft would all be NOTHING (really) without competition. It is what draws new players in and what keeps the old ones around.
That being said, I partially agree with you about AC because it's slightly different. The fact that the competitive scene was stagnant for years (even since before I discovered what AC was, apparently) didn't help those who were already enjoying the game retain interest, but removing shit like douze ctf or gema or w/e also didn't help new players stick around and eventually discover the depth that the game could bring, which was the way most of us got into the game.
With regards to me "supporting" the removal of douze ctf or whatever, I don't like the mode or the map and I will never play it by choice. But that doesn't mean I think others shouldn't be allowed to play it if they want to, restricting harmless things like that in the name of autocracy can only lead to bad things.
But going back to what I said about the competitive scene: it's not even exclusive to esports. Football matches, tennis tournaments etc are televised nationally and people bet real money on the outcomes of them - it's this exposure that certainly contributes to people's prolonged interest in the game. Saying that the competitive aspect of any game is unimportant is completely wrong.
