I get the desire to keep oneself productive and make contributions to the world, but it seems like standups and sprint planning aren't that, and for the most part, corporate work involves doing a satisfactory job, but realizing that doing a particularly good job at anything isn't worth it for various reasons (i.e. the idea of "craftsmanship" is generally inappropriate in a corporate context). Surely there's communal satisfaction to be found making improvements to e.g. digikam. Or we've seen bright college kids try to make things like diaspora or mastodon over the years, but they don't know what they're doing, so it always ends up being something that barely runs and costs way too much to be able to scale. Someone that actually knew what they were doing could easily write something 100x more efficient. It's not so much "why do you do stuff", but "why do you work at a corporation and worry about OKRs and sprints and 360 peer reviews instead of doing stuff?"
