I think you put a lot of effort in, and as a result you learned where your real passion lies. Good!

Many people I know, including smart ones, took a lot longer than you to find out what they would like to do than you. You may found further areas (other than SWE, or other sub-parts of computer science) that you may like even better, and life is long enough to try 2-3 things.

Finish your degree, because it's always good to finish what you start: people who do not know you will have to judge you by your paperwork, and if they can see "whatever he started, he finished, and he did so well" that is going to help you later.

I read your post carefully and you wrote that you like making things. Have you considered doing software development for embedded systems? In that space, you can interact a lot with physical systems, which you might like - whereas in other parts of SWE you often work on cloud machines that you will never see or touch.
