Devils advocate-

"I love complicated mathematical questions, and love doing the basic multiplication and division calculations myself without a calculator. I don't understand why people would use a calculator for this."

"I love programming, and don't understand why people would use C++ instead of using machine lamguage. You get deep down close to the hardware, such a good feeling, people are missing out. Even assembly language is too much of a cheat."

In the other hand - people still knit, I assume for the enjoyment of it.
