The term "professional" has nothing to do with athletics...

As long as you're getting paid to do it you're a professional something. Just means it's your profession.

I get the common usage of the term. It just seems weird that society is so bored that it’s willing to pay people to play games. although It’s probably no different in the abstract than paying any other performer or service provider for entertainment. I guess it’s fun to watch?

I agree that it’s a little weird but it’s no more weird than professional sports.
