Nothing requires you to avoid crashing your airplane, so that is not an
objective. I've seen people deliberately crash airplanes again and again in
the sim.
Then their objective in the game is to crash the airplane.
Nothing requires you to hit the ball in baseball either, yet it is
generally an objective of the game.
People's objectives in playing games can be pretty loosse, which is one
of the reasons they are called "games" and not called "real life".
