I enjoy the process of incremental improvement. I cook a recipe, then taste it, adjust the recipe to improve it and repeat until there's no longer anything I can do to make it better.

Because my MIL hated cooking and therefore was a selfish bitch and never taught her daughters a literal survival skill like cooking food. Ya know, one of the things you only need to do literally every single fucking day of your life. If I didn't cook we'd be eating chips/kraft bluebox/chipotle everyday until we died of scurvy or homelessness because of being poor from eating out. Also it's fun to cook stuff and she has a vagina/tits/ass and is my best friend so it works out lol

1) It can be fun/satisfying
2) Cheaper than ready meals
3) I can choose what to put in it, so I can be healthier that way
4) Uncooked food doesnt taste as good and is less pleasant to eat and can be dangerous
5) One day... in the far future my family will be happy to eat my cooking

I enjoy cooking. And I get great satisfaction when my wife or kids say, "Wow, that was great" and they pat their bellies. That's my love language I reckon. I'm into good food and presentation. I'm a total amateur, but when it comes to making special meals, I do it instead of my wife.
