The idea that anything can be addictive is incorrect anything can be a compulsion or an obsession but addiction is a VERY VERY different thing heres the best way to think of it
If you cant watch porn/drive your truck/gamble/play video games
Do you sweat? run a temperature? have bouts of nausea? have muscle and joint pains similar to a really bad flu? Can you you die from the withdrawals if not treated by a doctor?
If the answers are generally yes to these then its an addiction, if the answers are no then its a compulsion/obsession.
It is important to differentiate correctly because the correct treatment protocols are NOT the same.
