> people don't like making music

Speak for yourself. I find practice extremely soothing in a strange way: it requires utmost attention and awareness of body while also maintaining a critical ear and a willingness to continually problem solve. Also, you need a lot of persistence to grind out enough repetitions to build muscle memory. This sort of skill/competence-building is very grounding for me.

And that says nothing about actually playing with other people, or improvising.
