I’ve always felt the same way - perhaps it’s because I get to work on interesting and hard problems at work so when I get home I’d rather veg out. I’d much rather swim for an hour than do something mentally taxing and memory intensive. If I did something more manual I think I would perhaps crave that kind of outlet so I can kind of see the appeal. At least playing good chess does involve some improvisation and creativity. Cubing on the other hand has not appealed to me at all since I learnt it was mostly just memorising some patterns and executing them. It just feels like a trick - it is impressive the speed some people can do it but I’ve never really been impressed by people being able to solve them. Perhaps those are unpopular opinions though!
