Because sometimes programming is an art and we want people to do it as if it was something they cared about.
I play chess and this is a bit like that. Why do I play against humans? Because I want to face another person like me and see what strategies they can come up with.

This is honestly cringeworthy. Go back to work or get another hobby or something, genuinely. You’re a developer. There’s nothing noble or romantic about it. Your attitude and ego is exactly what produces BS “I’m trying to be smart” code. The worst thing of all is the implication of competition or combat. What the hell? You’re a developer. If you want to play class, play chess.
