However even then gaming can't alter the fact that some people find some subjects inherently boring and gaming cannot change this, at least not without diluting the gain along with the boredom.

You are correct (at least to me), this is probably part of the reason why educational games are failing. Nobody can all of the sudden like mathematics just because it's on the screen. I wonder if there is a way to actually make the game itself engaging
without the taught subject being disdaining.
Also if you recall that monkey experiment they did with the graphs showing dopamine levels, games generally achieve that middle graph.
Unfortunately when it comes down to some things taught in our curriculum it's either right or wrong.
This generally produces that first or last graph where the outcome has already been determined, and that's not good enough.
