I'm OK with all of your points except equipment recommendations and possibly E-sports.

Equipment recommendations

Shopping questions or "which model should I get" are a bad fit for this kind of site. The reasons have been elaborated at length Elsewhere, and also here occasionally.

There are some gray areas that I could see allowing. If the question is more about the type of device versus which model, it could be on topic. For example, "Are there any drawbacks to velcro-tie shoes versus traditional shoelace-tie for running? What about sports where pivoting and changing direction are important, like soccer?" would be on topic, whereas "Which velcro-tie shoe is best for jogging?" would be off topic.

E-sport

I don't know what an E-sport is, so can't say whether it should be on topic. The name suggests something done on a computer, which isn't a "sport" as I think of it.

The difference between a "sport" and a "game" is that the former has a component of physical or athletic actions central to the competition. Clicking a mouse, even with the right timing, isn't the kind of physical actions I mean. For example, soccer is clearly a sport since running, kicking a ball, and other obvious athletic actions are integral to it. Chess is a game. You compete by thinking. The ability to pick up pieces and move them around isn't sufficiently athletic, and the game doesn't really hinge on your physical ability to do that well.
