I think that the concept of shared storytelling (which is what I believe table-top gaming is at its core) is an aspect of humanity for me.
My work schedule is on months and off months, so I can game during off months but is impossible during on months, so I have only gotten into one-shots and the like.
Also want to say that the emotional/time/labor investment of the person running the game is often more so than the rest as they tend to become the logistics person as well as taking on alot of the work of the game itself.
In some ways, the widespread use of online tools and platforms for ttrpgs is fantastic but I find that in person gaming is ultimately more satisfying.
This 100%
