The thing is that they will never ever sound like the actual guitarists and rock bands in those games without a years of actual learning and playing afterwards. That's where it comes in and sometimes people just want the instant action and have a great time.
In the end, this thread is more about dissing Chad Kroeger and Nickleback more than anything.

Yeah someone *could* learn the guitar in that time but in the meantime, especially when they first start, all they'll be able to play is Smoke on the Water and even that'll sound like crap. Whereas with GH and RB, they'll get the feeling of actually playing a song (with a full band) instantly.
If I took all the time I've spent on CalgaryPuck, I probably could have learned to fly a helicopter by now. Doesn't make them interchangable.
/I've been playing guitar for ~12 years. The activities look the same, that's about it IMO.
