I think you might be missing out vast swathes of human experience here. Some things are about joy, or god help me - fun.
(For the record I think AI has a role to play here as well)
I find AI a joy to use to build software. I was never the type of engineer who loved the code itself. I was always the type who wanted to see how users would react, how metrics change based on the feature, etc. The code was the most boring part for me generally.
