Oak and by extension the first season of the anime comes from a time where the series had pretty much everyone, especially authority figures, except your own mother, be either complete assholes or outright incompetent to the young kids who were the target demographic of this series.

It all mellowed out slowly as the series attracted a wider and wider audience.

Why not both?
A chill, friendly, silly grandpa that still can kick some major ass is peak. Oak is like 60 years old and ready for retirement so obviously he's going to be more relaxed, but if push come to shove his experience as a trainer and researcher are still there.

Pokémon professors are consistently the least interesting, so it's hard to be upset. Even Kukui is probably one of the least interesting characters in his game.

I don't know how you get that impression of him from the games when all his dialogue with Red is friendly. Thinking game Oak is stern because of his sugimori art is like only looking at anime Oak in the first opening and first episode where he's constantly frowning at Ash.

So Ananias departed and entered the house. And he laid his hands on him and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord sent me—that is Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming—so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he rose up and was baptized; and he took food and was strengthened. Now for several days he was with the disciples who were at Damascus, and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.”
— Acts 9:17-20

Oak's meant to come off as stern at first glance but is often jovial and friendly. Look at the Pokedex Rate dialogue or how he comes off in the Johto games. He comes across that way only because your first encounters with him across all mediums is doing dumb shit (stepping into wild grass/arriving late/breaking into his house)

Rowan's the no-nonsense strict one with a sarcastic streak.

Outside of the beginning of Platinum when you attempt to go through the tall grass he doesn’t really act stern towards you or Barry. He’s pretty friendly and polite overall.

TCG? yes! those cards were like basically money on school playground. The games? people knew of them and liked them well enough but they were ancillary to the merch. It wasn’t until the anime came out that the west started getting big into the games. Many common misconceptions about the games (red being ash, all the protagonists being ten) are from people projecting the far well known anime onto the games.
