Some people like the struggle. There's an entire industry built off of making money from this human drive in called the Video Game industry after all. Think about all of the games which get lambasted for being too easy, hell just look at the release of Classic WoW where plenty of people are still devoting time to a 15 year old game largely because it required a lot of work to succeed in.

Some people bury themselves in their job, some people bury themselves in work, some people in video games, it's ultimately based on the same drive to achieve something based on a struggle.
