If you like and understand physics, try adding an EE minor or applying your CS skills to robotics. Both these career paths are physics-adjacent (electrodynamics and mechanics respectively) and might allow you to have a passion for the software you're developing. Also, remember that your career is simply there to pay the bills and that you can pursue your interests outside work too (I build wooden boats).

But you need to have some sort of interest in what you do, no? I spend the 8hs at work thinking of what I do outside of those 8hs. When I have things in my personal life that I have to do, I find that they “get in the way” of the things I actually wanted to work on.

In other words, the 8hs that pay the bills steal time from the things I actually want to do and it makes me dread them tremendously.
