I disagree, though would be happy to use both as examples.
RPS is a zero-sum, fair game where the GTO strategy is easy to compute and mixed. The thing about PD that makes it worthwhile to study is that the Paredo optimal solution is for both players to play dominated strategies (which can only happen when the game is not zero-sum). Neither makes for a perfect analogy to poker because of how simple they are, but poker is a zero-sum game, like RPS but unlike PD.
But like I said, I could easily use both as examples.
