Is min/maxing a flaw of a game, or the players?

I'm not sure if this point has been discussed YET, but lets step away from ability scores for a moment. Now, would min-maxing apply to JUST those or can I also assume it applies to things added from core/splat books? Backgrounds, Feats, Flaws and Advantages(or the equivalent)? From what I've seen, the only discussion has been on Ability Scores. Then again, I've only been skimming over pages. I was just curious, because I could swear a bard I made for one of Nik's games was pretty set charisma-wise. As in, all Cha based skills were totaled at 23, which not only included the +8 from the ability score and +10 from ranks, but a load of stuff I thought would help that along.
