Everyone has objectives when playing a game or using a simulator, but
simulators do not have objectives built in, whereas games do.

Games without built-in objectives are common enough that there's a name
for the gen "sandbox games".

Just because MSFS is a sandbox game doesn't mean it's not a game.
