One thing I noticed is that you do more math in prototyping a simple 2-D game that you do in 10 years of web development.

Game dev is multiple programming disciplines rolled into one. It takes full stack development to a whole new level

The difficulty about game dev is that it's made of many parts (technical, artistic, etc.), and ultimately the whole is only as good as the weakest part of the whole game.
And programming isn't even the hardest part of gamedev... Designing the game story and/or mechanics is a lot harder.

Its an artform and not the C++/C#/WhateverScript knowledge. All you got really is line traces, overlaps, ticks, timers, sets and gets etc. Now you gota summon a dragon, ride on it back and battle a boss. You just gota all the learn tricks to achieve this.
