That attitude is just lazy in my opinion. Pretty much anything in a game design has something to do with rewards. Just getting feedback on the player's actions can be viewed as a reward, so to constrain the meaning of the word to particular stuff the player can get is not sufficient for me.

The hardest thing is coming up with some new types of rewards, new ways to obtain those rewards, in what ways they can be used, and etcetera. Some people say that everything has been done before and while that could possibly be true, there's always some new twist that can be put on it.
