For me, the satisfaction of building hardware and software is solving a problem that someone has. I'm ok with that "someone" being myself or a friend, as a hobby... or being a stranger, via some commercial product I help develop.

Corporate work doesn't have to be soul-crushing. BTW, is the "20% project" concept actually a thing anywhere? (Either as 20% out of 100% or 120%)
