I agree with you completely. The FUN stat is something I have known for years. I have always tried to support any kids playing a sport. Most of them are there for fun and to be with friends not to win.
I was the director and ref for the local church league of Upward (which I'm assuming that you are also describing). I then moved to licensed official in baseball / softball, and only the ref for church league.
Now I my oldest plays school ball where it is definitely PRO FORM. I actually found myself very elated when he was traded from the cats to the birds this year. Cats team has an awful coach (and entire family) with language and attitude. Birds coach knows both my son and I from when he coached Upward for me. I happy that on that team winning is not the most important thing, though it is important because of the league. Win at all cost league.
