CRUD apps are to programmers what walls are to carpenters. There may be an artistry to making good walls and there are lots of ways the task can be made challenging. But, 99% of the time, the customer doesn't care about the artistry that you put into the wall. They just want the damned thing up as fast and as cheaply as humanly possible. I think that might be where the root of the OP's boredom comes from. Doing the same (relatively) low skill task over and over for years would make anybody bored.

If we were to use the wall analogy, I'd put it this way: the customer should care about the structural integrity of the wall, how much load-bearing weight it can carry, or whether extensions can be added easily to it etc. So while getting "the damn thing up" may be the burning expectation in everyone who isn't making the wall, the wall maker knows the consequences of poor work and it is his responsibility to educate folks who depend on said wall.
