Some people want to 3d print for a hobby, while some want 3d printers as a hobby.
You are the second type, while out of the box printers are for the first type.
Personally what kept me away from 3d printing my own terrain for miniature wargames is that I don’t have time for another hobby. I just can’t be bothered with endless fiddling with settings, temperatures, speed, and all that. But I understand your feelings
