I hope those only guilty of playing house THINKING they are much more than that, get what I am saying. There is nothing wrong with playing house if you understand you are doing it for fun and as a hobby and not expecting much more out of it. What is unfortunate are those that really think they are top notch and don't understand their true status in the business.
For instance, I had a woman answer a casting call for agency quality, 5'8"+, dress size 2 fashion models. She said she was 5'3" and 165 lbs. and didn't skip a beat in saying "I would work well for their "plus size" division." (Need I explain that?!)
It happens in many industries/business - for instance, let's say you played a musical instrument in school and high school. You were average in ability, had fun, built confidence, met new friends, stayed busy and didn't have time to get into trouble because of your activity. Unfortunately there were always those average high school musicians that thought they should catapult immediately onto Carnegie Hall's stage. They were playing house.
So those of you knowing where you truly stand in the business and partake because of your your own grounded reasons, I applaud you.
